SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange

[[Page 4486]]

Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form N-54C; SEC File No. 270-184; OMB Control No. 3235-0236.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (the ``Act''), the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-54C (17 CFR 274.54) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 
(15 U.S.C. 80a) is a notification to the Commission that a company 
withdraws its election to be regulated as a business development 
company. Such a company only has to file a Form N-54C once.
    It is estimated that approximately 12 respondents per year file 
with the Commission a Form N-54C. Form N-54C requires approximately 1 
burden hour per response resulting from creating and filing the 
information required by the Form. The total burden hours for Form N-54C 
would be 12 hours per year in the aggregate. The estimated annual 
burden of 12 hours represents a decrease of 6 hours over the prior 
estimate of 18 hours. The decrease in burden hours is attributable to a 
decrease in the number of respondents from 18 to 12.
    The estimate of average burden hours for Form N-54C is made solely 
for the purposes of the Act and is not derived from a comprehensive or 
even representative survey or study of the cost of Commission rules and 
forms.
    The collection of information under Form N-54C is mandatory. The 
information provided by Form N-54C 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.
    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 send an email to: [email protected]; and (ii) Charles Boucher, 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: January 14, 2009.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
