Form N-CEN is a reporting form used
for annual reports by all registered investment companies, other
than face-amount certificate companies, that have filed a
registration statement which has become effective pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933. The commission's proposed amendments to
Form N-CEN would requrie funds to identify whether they relied on
proposed rule 18f-4 during the reporting period.

USC 80a-29 Name of Law: Investment Company Act of 1940
The estimated hourly burden
associated with Form N-CEN has increased from 74,598 hours to
74,846 hours (an increase of 248 hours). The change in burden hours
is due to the estimates of the time burden that will result from
our amendments affecting Form N CEN. The Commission does not
estimate any change in cost burden.
