SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 22d-1; SEC File No. 270-275; OMB Control No. 3235-0310.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a 
request for extension of the previously approved collection of 
information discussed below.
    Rule 22d-1 (17 CFR 270.22d-1) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (the ``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) provides registered 
investment companies that issue redeemable securities (``funds'') an 
exemption from section 22(d) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 
80a-22(d)) to the extent necessary to permit scheduled variations in or 
elimination of the sales load on fund securities for particular classes 
of investors or transactions, provided certain conditions are met. The 
rule imposes an annual burden per series of a fund of approximately 15 
minutes, so that the total annual burden for the approximately 4,735 
series of funds that might rely on the rule is estimated to be 1,184 
hours.
    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. Responses will 
not be 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 control number.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to 
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or email to: [email protected]; 
and (ii) Lewis W. Walker, Acting Director/CIO, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, 
VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: [email protected]. Comments must be 
submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: November 10, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
