Extension: Form N-8F
SEC File No. 270-136, OMB Control No. 3235-0157
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
Form N-8F (17 CFR 274.218) is the form prescribed for use by registered
investment companies in certain circumstances to request orders of the Commission
declaring that the registration of that investment company cease to be in effect. The form
requests information about: (i) the investment company’s identity, (ii) the investment
company’s distributions, (iii) the investment company’s assets and liabilities, (iv) the
events leading to the request to deregister, and (v) the conclusion of the investment
company’s business. The information is needed by the Commission to determine
whether an order of deregistration is appropriate.
The Form takes approximately 5.2 hours on average to complete. It is estimated
that approximately 135 investment companies file Form N-8F annually, so the total
annual burden for the form is estimated to be approximately 702 hours. The estimate of
average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act
and is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.

-2The collection of information on Form N-8F is not mandatory. The information
provided on Form N-8F is not kept confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently-valid OMB control number.
The public may view the background documentation for this information
collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to:
(i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an e-mail
to: [email protected]; and (ii) Charles Riddle, Acting Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Candace Kenner, 100 F
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:
[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this
notice.
