Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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.
Regulation E (17 CFR 230.601—
230.610a) exempts from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) (‘‘Securities Act’’)
securities issued by a small business
investment company (‘‘SBIC’’) which is
registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) or
a closed-end investment company that
has elected to be regulated as a business
development company (‘‘BDC’’) under
the Investment Company Act, so long as
the aggregate offering price of all
securities of the issuer that may be sold
within a 12-month period does not
exceed $5,000,000 and certain other
conditions are met. Rule 607 under
Regulation E (17 CFR 230.607) entitled,
‘‘Sales material to be filed,’’ requires
sales material used in connection with
securities offerings under Regulation E
to be filed with the Commission at least
five days (excluding weekends and
holidays) prior to its use.1 Commission
staff reviews sales material filed under
rule 607 for materially misleading
statements and omissions. The
requirements of rule 607 are designed to
protect investors from the use of false or
misleading sales material in connection
with Regulation E offerings.
Respondents to this collection of
information include SBICs and BDCs
making an offering of securities
pursuant to Regulation E. No filings
were submitted to the Commission
under rule 607 in 2019, 2020 or 2021.
Accordingly, we estimate no annual

or other communications to be published in
newspapers, magazines, or other periodicals; radio
and television scripts; and letters, circulars or other
written communications proposed to be sent given
or otherwise communicated to more than ten
persons.

responses. Each respondent’s reporting
burden under rule 607 relates to the
internal burden associated with filing its
sales material electronically, which is
negligible. For administrative purposes,
we estimate an annual burden of one
hour.
The requirements of this collection of
information are mandatory. Responses
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 control
number.
