SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Under Review by Office of Management and Budget

    Acting Agency Clearance Officer: David T. Copenhafer (202) 942-
8800.
    Upon Written Request, Copy Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, 450 Fifth 
Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
    Rule Amendments and New Form:

Rule 24f-1--File No. 270-130
Rule 24f-2--File No. 270-131
Form 24F-2--File No. 270-399

    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 has submitted for OMB approval proposed amendments to rules 
24f-1 and 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, regarding 
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of certain investment 
company securities. In addition, the Commission has submitted for OMB 
approval proposed Form 24F-2 for filing annual notices required by rule 
24f-2.
    Rule 24f-1 permits certain investment companies that have 
inadvertently sold more shares than are registered to retroactively 
register the oversold shares under the Securities Act of 1933. The 
reporting burden under the rule is approximately 2 hours per 
respondent. The proposed amendments are technical in nature and will 
not change the reporting burden.
    Rule 24f-2 allows certain investment companies to register shares 
under the Securities Act of 1933 without specifying at the time of 
registration the total number of shares to be registered. Rule 24f-2 
requires investment companies electing to register an indefinite number 
of shares to file an annual notice (``Rule 24f-2 Notice'') with the 
Commission for purposes of [[Page 16517]] reporting the number of 
shares sold during the previous fiscal year. Form 24F-2 will provide a 
standard format for filing Rule 24f-2 Notices. The reporting burden 
required under Rule 24f-2 is approximately 1.9 hours per respondent. 
The proposed amendments and form will not change the reporting burden.
    The estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of 
SEC rules and forms.
    Direct general comments to the Clearance 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 Commission rules and forms to David T. Copenhafer, 
Acting Director, Office of Information Technology, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549, and 
Clearance Officer for the SEC, Office of Management and Budget, 
Paperwork Reduction Project numbers 3235-0155 (Rule 24f-1), 3235-0159 
(Rule 24f-2), and (Form 24F-2), Room 3208, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20543.

    Dated: March 21, 1995.

Margaret E. McFarland,

Deputy Secretary.
