Review; Comment Request;
Reinstatement Without Change: Rule
23c–2
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 (‘‘SEC’’ or
‘‘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 title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Rule 23c–2 (17 CFR
270.23c–2) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.’’ Rule 23c–2(a)
(17 CFR 270.23c–2(a)) under the Act
provides that a closed-end fund may
call or redeem any securities it has
issued in accordance with the charter,
provided that in instances where less
than all of the outstanding shares of a
class or series are called or redeemed,
the call or redemption is made by lot on
a pro rata basis, or in a manner that does

not discriminate against any
shareholders. Further, rule 23c–2(b) (17
CFR 270.23c–2(b)) requires closed-end
funds that propose to call or redeem any
securities it has issued to file with the
Commission notice of its intention at
least 30 days prior to the date set for the
call or redemption, provided that if such
notice is required to by published in
newspaper, notice is required within 10
days of publication. The notice is
required to include (1) the title of the
class of securities to be called or
redeemed; (2) the date on which the
securities are to be called or redeemed;
(3) the applicable provisions of the
governing instrument pursuant to which
the securities are to be called or
redeemed; and (4) if less than all the
outstanding securities of a class or series
are to be called or redeemed, the
principal amount or number of shares
and the basis upon which the securities
to be call or redeemed are to be selected.
The Commission last submitted an
information collection request (‘‘ICR’’)
regarding this rule to OMB for approval
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (‘‘PRA’’) in November of 1982. The
submission was subsequently approved
in February of 1983. The Commission
never sought an extension of the
previously approved ICR upon
expiration of the OMB approval in
February of 1986. The reason the
Commission never sought an extension
is because the number of responses to
this ICR recorded within the 1982
submission was only five, which is
below the threshold of ten respondents
outlined within the PRA for requiring
OMB clearance. The Commission is now
seeking to reinstate the rule 23c–2 ICR
under control number 3235–0282.
Commission staff estimates that
approximately 75 closed-end funds
undertake an average of 110 proposed
calls or redemptions of securities
annually under rule 23c–2. Staff
estimates further that, with respect to
each proposed call or redemption, each
fund spends 1.5 hours to comply with
the rule’s filing requirement with the
Commission. Thus, Commission staff
estimates the total annual respondent
reporting burden is 165 hours. The total
annual cost for all funds is estimated to
be $81,180.
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 OMB Control
Number.
