Abstract: Form N-2 (17 CFR 239.14 and 274.11a-1) is filed by closed-end investment companies, including registered closed-end management investment companies and business development companies, to register offerings of securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The form is also used by a registered closed-end management investment company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The form establishes information that must be provided to investors to help investors evaluate an investment in the fund and make investment decisions. The Commission also uses the filed information in its regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and policy making roles.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed amendments would reduce the need for certain funds to file post-effective amendments on Form N-2. As a result, we estimate a reduction in the annual number of responses on Form N-2 from 298 to 275 (a reduction of 23 responses). We estimate corresponding reductions in annual burden hours and cost burdens. The estimated burden hours would decrease from 102,525 to 94,612 (a reduction of 7,913 hours). The estimated cost burden would decrease from $6,940,207 to $6,404,553 (a reduction of $535,654).
