Form 24F-2 is the annual notice of securities sold by certain investment companies pursuant to rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that accompanies the payment of registration fees under the Securities Act of 1933.
The estimated annual burden hours for Form 24F 2 has increased from 14,568 to 29,364 hours (an increase of 14,796 hours). This is due to an increase in the number of funds that would file reports on Form 24F 2 and the proposed structured data format. We do not estimate a change in cost burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
