Approximately 58 respondents will incur a total of 4,930 burden hours

    Rule 19b-4 implements the requirements of Section 19(b) of the 
Exchange Act by requiring self regulatory organizations (SROs) to file 
their rule proposals on Form 19b-4, and by clarifying which actions by 
SROs must be filed pursuant to Section 19(b). Form 19b-4 is designed to 
provide the Commission with the information necessary to determine 
whether, as required by the Exchange Act, the rule proposal is

update its registration annually by filing amendments on Form 1-A to

end investment companies, other than insurance company separate

group of investment companies. Approximately 3,000 respondents will 
incur a total of 6,000 burden hours annually.
