Agency Information Collection
Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Extension: Form
N–8B–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’’) is soliciting comments
on the proposed collection of
information described below.
Unit investment trusts (‘‘UITs’’) are
required to register with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) as investment
companies under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) (the ‘‘Investment Company
Act’’). Section 8(b) of the Investment
Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–8(b))
provides that each registered investment
company must file a registration
statement with the Commission that
includes certain information about the
company and recites the company’s
policies on certain significant matters.
UITs other than separate accounts that
are currently issuing securities,

lotter on DSK8BHNXB4PROD with NOTICES1

Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 152 / Monday, August 10, 2026 / Notices
including UITs that are issuers of
periodic payment plan certificates, UITs
of which a management investment
company is the sponsor or depositor,
and UIT ETFs,1 satisfy this requirement
by filing on Form N–8B–2. Among other
items, this Form requires disclosure
about the organization of a UIT, its
securities, the personnel and affiliated
persons of the depositor, distribution
and redemption of securities, the trustee
or custodian, and financial statements.
For UITs that are required to file on
Form N–8B–2 to register under the
Investment Company Act, the
Commission has yet to adopt an
integrated registration form satisfying
the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Investment Company Act.
Absent an integrated disclosure system,
filings on Form N–8B–2 serve as the
only means by which such UITs can
satisfy the filing and disclosure
requirements imposed by section 8(b) of
the Investment Company Act.
The purpose of Form N–8B–2 is to
satisfy the filing and disclosure
requirements of the Investment
Company Act. The information required
to be filed with the Commission assures
the public availability and
dissemination of the information and
permits verification of compliance with
Investment Company Act requirements.
Each UIT subject to the Form N–8B–2
filing requirement is required to file
Form N–8B–2 only once and does not
file post-effective amendments to Form
N–8B–2.2 Compliance with the
disclosure requirements of Form N–8B–
2 is mandatory. Responses to the
disclosure requirements will not be kept
confidential.
We estimate that approximately 1 UIT
files Form N–8B–2 annually at 40 hours
per response, for a total annual time
burden of 40 hours. We estimate the
total annual external cost burden is
$11,610, based on 15 hours of outside
legal services at a wage rate of $774 per
hour for an attorney in the securities
industry.
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.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the SEC,
including whether the information will

imposed by the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and the assumptions
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,

the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated, electronic
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
