    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 
(the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Rule 204-2'' (17 
CFR 275.204-2) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 
80b-1). Rule 204-2 sets forth the requirements for maintaining and 
preserving specified books and records. The collection of information 
under rule 204-2 is necessary for the Commission staff to use in its 
examination and oversight program. The respondents to the collection of 
information are investment advisers registered with us. The Commission 
staff estimates that the total reporting and recordkeeping burden of 
the collection of information for each respondent is approximately 
181.1541 hours.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will 
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c\o
