Form ADV–E

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’’) 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 for extension
and approval.
Form ADV–E (17 CFR 279.8) is the
cover sheet for certificates of accounting
filed pursuant to rule 206(4)–2 under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (17
CFR 275.206(4)–2). The rule further
requires that the public accountant file
with the Commission a Form ADV–E
and accompanying statement within
four business days of the resignation,
dismissal, removal or other termination
of its engagement.
The Commission has estimated that
compliance with the requirement to
complete Form ADV–E imposes a total
burden of approximately 0.05 hours (3
minutes) per respondent. Based on
current information from advisers

registered with the Commission, the
Commission staff estimates that 1,743
filings will be submitted with respect to
surprise examinations and 33 filings
will be submitted with respect to
termination of accountants. Based on
these estimates, the total estimated
annual burden would be 88.80 hours
((1,743 filings × .05 hours) + (33 filings
× .05 hours)).
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. An agency may not conduct
or sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.

Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17Ac2–2(17 CFR
240.17Ac2–2) and Form TA–2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 require
registered transfer agents to file an
annual report of their business activities
with the Commission. These reporting
requirements are designed to ensure that
all registered transfer agents are
providing the Commission with
sufficient information on an annual
basis about the transfer agent
community and to permit the
Commission to effectively monitor
business activities of transfer agents.
The amount of time needed to comply
with the requirements of Rule 17Ac2–2
and Form TA–2 varies. Of the total 362
registered transfer agents, approximately
9.2% (or 33 registrants) would be
required to complete only questions 1
through 3 and the signature section of
Form TA–2, which the Commission
estimates would take each registrant
approximately 30 minutes, for a total
burden of approximately 17 hours (33 ×
.5 hours). Approximately 26.5% of
registrants (or 96 registrants) would be
required to answer questions 1 through
5, question 11 and the signature section,
which the Commission estimates would
take approximately 1 hour and 30
minutes, for a total of approximately
144 hours (96 × 1.5 hours).
Approximately 64.2% of the registrants
(or 232 registrants) would be required to
complete the entire Form TA–2, which
the Commission estimates would take
approximately 6 hours, for a total of
approximately 1,392 hours (232 × 6
hours). The aggregate annual burden on
all 362 registered transfer agents is thus
approximately 1,553 hours (17 hours +
144 hours + 1,392 hours) and the
average annual burden per transfer
agent is approximately 4.29 hours (1,553
÷ 362).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
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

writing within 60 days of this

An agency may not conduct or

respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a

Rule 23c–3 and Form N–23c–3

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
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information discussed below.
Rule 23c–3 (17 CFR 270.23c–3) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) permits a
registered closed-end investment
company (‘‘closed-end fund’’ or ‘‘fund’’)
that meets certain requirements to
repurchase common stock of which it is
the issuer from shareholders at periodic
intervals, pursuant to repurchase offers
made to all holders of the stock. The
rule enables these funds to offer their
shareholders a limited ability to resell
their shares in a manner that previously
was available only to open-end
investment company shareholders.
There have been recent regulatory
developments put forth by the
Commission that will provide
shareholders of closed-end funds with
