Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Extension: Form
N–8A
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
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.
The Investment Company Act of 1940
(‘‘Investment Company Act’’) (15 U.S.C.
80a–1 et seq.) requires investment
companies to register with the
Commission before they conduct any
business in interstate commerce.
Section 8(a) of the Investment Company
Act provides that an investment
company shall be deemed to be
registered upon receipt by the
Commission of a notification of
registration in such form as the
Commission prescribes. Form N–8A (17
CFR 274.10) is the form for notification
of registration that the Commission has
adopted under section 8(a). The purpose
of such notification of registration
provided on Form N–8A is to notify the
Commission of the existence of
investment companies required to be
registered under the Investment
Company Act and to enable the
Commission to administer the
provisions of the Investment Company
Act with respect to those companies.
After an investment company has filed
its notification of registration under
section 8(a), the company is then subject
to the provisions of the Investment
Company Act which govern certain
aspects of its organization and activities,
22 17

CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

such as the composition of its board of
directors and the issuance of senior
securities. Form N–8A requires an
investment company to provide its
name, state of organization, form of
organization, classification, the name
and address of each investment adviser
of the investment company, the current
value of its total assets, and certain
other information readily available to
the investment company. If the
investment company is filing a
registration statement as required by
Section 8(b) of the Investment Company
Act concurrently with its notification of
registration, Form N–8A requires only
that the registrant file the cover page
(giving its name, address, and agent for
service of process) and sign the form in
order to effect registration.
Based on recent filings of notifications
of registration on Form N–8A, we
estimate that about 99 investment
companies file such notifications each
year. An investment company must only
file a notification of registration on
Form N–8A once. The currently
approved average hour burden per
investment company of preparing and
filing a notification of registration on
Form N–8A is one hour. Based on the
Commission staff’s experience with the
requirements of Form N–8A and with
disclosure documents generally—and
considering that investment companies
that are filing notifications of
registration on Form N–8A
simultaneously with the registration
statement under the Investment
Company Act are only required by Form
N–8A to file a signed cover page—we
continue to believe that this estimate is
appropriate. Therefore, we estimate that
the total annual hour burden to prepare
and file notifications of registration on
Form N–8A is 99 hours. The currently
approved cost burden of Form N–8A is
$496. We are updating the estimated
costs burden to $562 to account for the
effects of inflation. Therefore, we
estimate that the total annual cost
burden associated with preparing and
filing notifications of registration on
Form N–8A is about $55,638.
Estimates of average burden hours
and costs are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative
survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N–8A
is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information 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

An agency may not conduct or
