SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Forms Under Review by Office of Management and Budget

    Agency Clearance Officer: Michael E. Bartell, (202) 942-8800.
    Upon written request copy available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, 
D.C. 20549.
    Extensions:

Form N-8A--File No. 270-135
Rule 6c-6--File No. 270-160
Proposed Rule 0-5--File No. 270-378

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1980 (44 U.S.C. Secs. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted requests for approval of 
extension for the following:
    Form N-8A is the form that investment companies file with the 
Commission pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (``1940 Act''), which provides that an investment company may 
register by filing with the Commission a notification of registration. 
It is estimated that 610 respondents file form N-8A annually. The form 
requires approximately one hour of reporting per respondent annually.
    Rule 6c-6 continues exemptive relief granted by Commission order to 
certain investment companies that responded to Internal Revenue Service 
Revenue Ruling 81-225 (September 25, 1981) by organizing new companies 
and substituting them for existing companies without prior Commission 
approval. No respondents incur a burden complying with the rule.
    Proposed Rule 0-5 under the 1940 Act would establish an expedited 
review procedure for certain exemptive applications filed by registered 
investment companies with the Commission. It is estimated that 60 
respondents may expend an estimated 300 total burden hours annually 
meeting the proposed requirements for receiving expedited review of 
their exemptive applications.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to the OMB Clearance Officer at the address below. Any 
comments concerning the accuracy of the estimated average burden hours 
for compliance with Commission rules and forms should be directed to 
Michael E. Bartell, Associate Executive Director, Office of Information 
Technology, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20549 and Clearance Officer, Project Numbers: 3235-
0175 (Form N-8A), 3235-0245 (Rule 6c-6), and 3235-0432 (Proposed Rule 
0-5), Office of Management and Budget, Room 3208, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.

    Dated: September 11, 1995.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
