Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (Commission) has submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget requests for extension on previously approved collections on the
following rules and forms:
Rule 489 requires entities that are excepted from the definition of
investment company by virtue of rule 3a-6 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (1940 Act) to file Form F-N to appoint a United States
agent for service of process when making a public offering of
securities in the United States. It is estimated that each of the fifty
respondents on Form F-N incur an average of one burden hour annually.
Rule 3 permits a bank which is also a public utility holding
company to claim exemption from the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1934 (Act) by filing an annual statement on Form U-3A3-1. The
Commission receives five filings from banks annually, each taking about
two hours to complete, thus imposing a total annual burden of ten
hours.
Rule 95 requires service companies to file reports on Form U-13E-1
with the Commission prior to performing under contracts for registered
holding companies or their subsidiaries, for services, construction, or
the sale of goods. One company meets this requirement annually, at an
estimated average annual burden of two hours.
Form U-7D establishes the filing company's right to the exemption
authorized for financing entities holding title to utility assets
leased to a utility company. The form imposes a total burden of 126
hours on 42 respondents.
Rule 1(a) and 1(b) and Forms U5A and U5B implement Sections 5(a)
and 5(b) of the Act which require any holding company or any person
proposing to become a holding company to file with the Commission a
notification of registration and registration statement, respectively.
The burden of this requirement is approximately 80 hours annually for
one respondent.
Rule 26 sets forth the financial statement and recordkeeping
requirements for registered holding companies and subsidiaries. The
burden of this filing is included in the burden of filing Form U5S,
which is submitted separately, thus Rule 26 imposes no annual burden.
Rule 62 prohibits the solicitation of authorization regarding any
security of a regulated company in connection with reorganization
subject to Commission approval or regarding any transaction which is
the subject of an application or declaration, except pursuant to a
declaration regarding the solicitation which has become effective. The
rule and Form U-R-1 impose a burden of 50 hours annually on 10
companies.
Rule 44 implements Section 12(d) of the Act by prohibiting sales of
utility securities or any utility assets owned by a registered holding
company, except pursuant to a declaration which notifies the Commission
of the proposed sale and which has become effective. The rule imposes a
burden of 72 hours annually on 3 respondents.
Rule 88 requires the filing of Form U-13-1 for a mutual or
subsidiary service company performing services for affiliate companies
of a holding company system. The rule imposes a burden of 36 hours
annually on 18 respondents.
Direct general comments to the Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission at the address below. Direct any comments
concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours for
compliance with the Commission rules and forms to John J. Lane,
Associate Executive Director, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission, (Project Numbers 3235-0411, 3235-
0160, 3235-0162, 3235-0165, 3235-0170, 3235-0183, 3235-0152, 3235-0147
and 3235-0182), Office of Management and Budget, Room 3208, New
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.
