Extension:
Form N–8B–4.

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
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Form N–8B–4 (17 CFR 274.14) is the
form used by face-amount certificate
companies to comply with the filing and
disclosure requirements imposed by
Section 8(b) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–8(b)). Among
other items, Form N–8B–4 requires
disclosure of the following information
about the face-amount certificate
company: Date and form of
organization; controlling persons;
current business and contemplated
changes to the company’s business;
investment, borrowing, and lending
policies, as well as other fundamental
policies; securities issued by the
company; investment adviser;
depositaries; management personnel;
compensation paid to directors, officers,
and certain employees; and financial
statements. The Commission uses the
information provided in the collection
of information to determine compliance
with Section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
Form N–8B–4 and the burden of
compliance have not changed since the
last approval. Each registrant files Form
N–8B–4 for its initial filing and does not
file post-effective amendments to Form
N–8B–4.1 Commission staff estimates
1 Pursuant to Section 30(b)(1) of the Act (15
U.S.C. 80a–29), each respondent keeps its

that no respondents will file Form N–
8B–4 each year. There is currently only
one existing face-amount certificate
company, and no face-amount
certificate companies have filed a Form
N–8B–4 in many years. No new faceamount certificate companies have been
established since the last OMB
information collection approval for this
form, which occurred in 2017.
Accordingly, the staff estimates that,
each year, no face-amount certificate
companies will file Form N–8B–4, and
that the total burden for the information
collection is zero hours. Although
Commission staff estimates that there is
no hour burden associated with Form
N–8B–4, the staff is requesting a burden
of one hour for administrative purposes.
Estimates of the burden hours are made
solely for the purposes of the PRA and
are not derived from a comprehensive or
even a representative survey or study of
the costs of SEC rules and forms.
The information provided on Form
N–8B–4 is mandatory. The information
provided on Form N–8B–4 will not be
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.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
Please direct your written comments
to David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, C/O Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington,
DC 20549; or send an email to: PRA_

registration statement current through the filing of
periodic reports as required by Section 13 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m)
and the rules thereunder. Post-effective
amendments are filed with the Commission on the
face-amount certificate company’s Form S–1.
Hence, respondents only file Form N–8B–4 for their
initial registration statement and not for posteffective amendments.
