Extension
    Form N-17D-1--SEC File No. 270-231--OMB Control No. 3235-0229.
    Rule 18f-1 and Form N-18F-1--SEC File No. 270-187--OMB Control No. 
3235-0211.
    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget requests for approval of extension on previously approved 
information collection requirements:
    Form N-17D-1 is used by small business investment companies and 
banks affiliated therewith to report any loan or advance of credit to, 
or acquisition of securities or property of, a small business concern 
or any agreement to do any of the foregoing. The annual burden of 
filling out the form is approximately 5 hours per response.
    Rule 18f-1 enables a registered open-end management investment 
company (``fund'') that may redeem its securities in kind, by making a 
one-time election, to commit to make cash redemptions pursuant to 
certain requirements without violating section 18(f) of the Investment 
Company Act of 1940. Form N-18F-1 provides the Securities and Exchange 
Commission notification of this election. A response takes 
approximately one hour. It is estimated that approximately 150 funds 
file the form annually.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.
    General comments regarding the estimated burden hours should be 
directed to the Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission 
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, NW., Washington, DC 20549 and Desk 
Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: October 17, 1996.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
