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 (the ``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget requests 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 4,862 
series of funds that might rely on the rule is estimated to be 1215.5 
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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (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, D.C. 20503, or by sending an e-
mail to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an 
email to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.
