SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form 24F-2;OMB Control No. 3235-0456, SEC File No. 270-399.

    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 (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved 
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 24f-2 (17 CFR 270.24f-2) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) requires any open-end management companies 
(``mutual funds''), unit investment trusts (``UITs'') or face-amount 
certificate companies (collectively, ``funds'') deemed to have 
registered an indefinite amount of securities to file, not later than 
90 days after the end of any fiscal year in which it has publicly 
offered such securities, Form 24F-2 (17 CFR 274.24) with the 
Commission. Form 24F-2 is the annual notice of securities sold by funds 
that accompanies the payment of registration fees with respect to the 
securities sold during the fiscal year.
    The Commission estimates that 6946 funds file Form 24F-2 on the 
required annual basis. The average annual burden per respondent for 
Form 24F-2 is estimated to be two hours. The total annual burden for 
all respondents to Form 24F-2 is estimated to be 13,892 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 of the costs of Commission rules.
    Compliance with the collection of information required by Form 24F-
2 is mandatory. The Form 24F-2 filing that must be made to the 
Commission is available to the public. 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, 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 email to: [email protected]; and (ii) Thomas Bayer, Chief Information Officer, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street 
NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: [email protected]. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: August 19, 2014.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
