    Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, 
Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form ADV; SEC File No. 270-39; OMB Control No. 3235-0049.

    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 
(``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved collection 
of information discussed below.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form ADV'' (17 CFR 
279.1). Form ADV is the investment adviser registration form filed 
electronically with the Commission pursuant to rules 203-1 (17 CFR 
275.203-1) and 204-1 (17 CFR 275.204-1) under the Investment Advisers 
Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1 et seq.) by advisers registered with the 
Commission or applying for registration with the Commission. The 
information collected takes the form of disclosures to the investment 
adviser's clients and potential clients. The purpose of this collection 
of information is to provide advisory clients, prospective clients, and 
the Commission with information about the adviser, its business, and 
its conflicts of interest. Clients use certain of the information to 
determine whether to hire or retain an adviser.
    The information collected provides the Commission with knowledge 
about the adviser, its business, and its conflicts of interest. The 
Commission uses the information to determine eligibility for 
registration with the Commission and to manage its regulatory, 
examination, and enforcement programs.
    Respondents to the collection of information are investment 
advisers registered with the Commission or applying for registration 
with the Commission. The Commission estimates that the total annual 
reporting and recordkeeping burden of the collection of information for 
each respondent is 23.375 hours.
    This collection of information is found at 17 CFR 279.1 and it is 
mandatory.
    The information collected pursuant to Form ADV are filings with the 
Commission. These disclosures are not

kept confidential and must be preserved until at least three years 
after termination of the enterprise.
    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 control number.
    General comments regarding the above information should be directed 
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the 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

[email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days 
of this notice.

    December 6, 2007.
