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.
    Extension: Form 1-E, File No. 270-221; Rule 206(3)-2, File No. 270-
216; Rules 8b-1 through 8b-32, File No. 270-135.
    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 requests for extensions on the following 
rules and form:
    Form 1-E under the Securities Act of 1933, is a report made 
pursuant to rules 604 and 605 of Regulation E. Form 1-E is the form 
that a small business investment company or business development 
company making an offering under Regulation E uses to notify the 
Commission of the offering. In most cases, an offering circular is 
filed with the Form 1-E. Rule 604 under Regulation E specifies the 
filing and content of a filing of notification on Form 1-E. Rule 605 
specifies the filing and use of the offering circular. For each of the 
4 registrants that prepare Form 1-E and an offering circular a year, 
the burden hours are approximately 100 hours.
    Rule 206(3)-2 permits registered investment advisers to comply with 
Section 206(3) of the Investment [[Page 19423]] Advisers Act of 1940 by 
obtaining a blanket consent from a client to enter into agency cross 
transactions, provided certain disclosure is made to the client. 
Approximately 214 respondents utilize the rule annually, necessitating 
about 122 responses each year, for a total of 26,108 responses. Each 
response requires about .5 hours, for a total of 13,054 hours.
    Rules 8b-1 through 8b-32 provide standard instructions to guide 
persons when filing registration statements under the Investment 
Company Act of 1940. Rules 8b-1 through 8b-32 impose burdens only in 
the context of the preparation of the various registration forms. 
Accordingly, no separate burden estimate is being submitted for Rules 
8b-1 through 8b-32 and burden estimates are, or will be, made for each 
of the registration statement forms.
    Direct general comments to the OMB 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 
SEC Clearance Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork 
Reduction Project 3235-0232 (Form 1-E); 3235-0243 (Rule 206(3)-2); 
3235-0176 (Rules 8b-1 through 8b-32), Room 3208, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20543.

    Dated: April 3, 1995.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
