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 
20549-2833.

Extension:
    Rule 30b1-5; SEC File No. 270-520; OMB Control No. 3235-0577.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 30b1-5 (17 CFR 270.30b1-5) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the ``Investment Company Act'') 
requires registered management investment companies, other than small 
business investment companies registered on Form N-5 (17 CFR 239.24 and 
274.5) (``funds''), to file a quarterly report via the Commission's 
EDGAR system on Form N-Q (17 CFR 249.332 and 274.130), not more than 
sixty calendar days after the close of each first and third fiscal 
quarter, containing their complete portfolio holdings. The purpose of 
the collection of information required by rule 30b1-5 is to meet the 
disclosure requirements of the Investment Company Act and to provide 
investors with information necessary to evaluate an interest in the 
fund by improving the transparency of information about the fund's 
portfolio holdings.
    The Commission estimates that there are 2,580 management investment 
companies, with a total of approximately 9,160 portfolios, that are

governed by the rule. For purposes of this analysis, the burden 
associated with the requirements of rule 30b1-5 has been included in 
the collection of information requirements of Form N-Q, rather than the 
rule.
    The collection of information under rule 30b1-5 is mandatory. The 
information provided under rule 30b1-5 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.
    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, DC 20503, or by sending an e-
mail to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas A. Bayer, 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 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: August 8, 2011.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
