SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Filing and Information Services, 
Washington, DC 20549.

Extension:
    Rule 30b1-5, SEC File No. 270-520, OMB Control No. 3235-0577.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)(``Act'') the U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 30b1-5 under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940, Quarterly Filing of Schedule of 
Portfolio Holdings of Registered Management Investment Companies.''
    Rule 30b1-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 requires 
registered management investment companies, other than small business 
investment companies registered on Form N-5, to file a quarterly report 
via the Commission's EDGAR system on Form N-Q, not more than sixty 
calendar days after the close of each first and third fiscal quarter, 
containing their complete portfolio holdings.
    The Commission estimates that there are 9,850 management investment 
companies and series that are governed by the rule. The Commission 
estimates that the annual burden associated with the rule is 1 hour per 
affected investment company or series. The total burden hours for rule 
30b1-5 is 9,850 per year in the aggregate (9,850 responses x 1 hour per 
response). Estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the 
purposes of the Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a 
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and 
forms.
    The collection of information under rule 30b1-5 is mandatory. The 
information provided under rule 30b1-5 is not kept confidential. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503; or e-mail to: [email protected]; and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Office of Information Technology, U.S. Securities 
and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: October 28, 2005.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
