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:
    Rule 30b2-1, SEC File No. 270-213, OMB Control No. 3235-0220

    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 30b2-1 (17 CFR 270.30b2-1) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the ``Investment Company Act'') 
requires a registered management investment company (``fund'') to (1) 
file a report with the Commission on Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 
274.128) not later than 10 days after the transmission of any report 
required to be transmitted to

[[Page 56309]]

shareholders under rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act, and (2) 
file with the Commission a copy of every periodic or interim report or 
similar communication containing financial statements that is 
transmitted by or on behalf of such fund to any class of such fund's 
security holders and that is not required to be filed with the 
Commission under (1), not later than 10 days after the transmission to 
security holders. The purpose of the collection of information required 
by rule 30b2-1 is to meet the disclosure requirements of the Investment 
Company Act and certification requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 
2002 (Pub. L. 107-204, 116 Stat. 745 (2002)) and to provide investors 
with information necessary to evaluate an interest in the fund.
    The Commission estimates that there are 2,401 funds, with a total 
of approximately 11,555 portfolios, that are governed by the rule. For 
purposes of this analysis, the burden associated with the requirements 
of rule 30b2-1 has been included in the collection of information 
requirements of rule 30e-1 and Form N-CSR, rather than the rule. The 
Commission has, however, requested a one hour burden for administrative 
purposes.
    The collection of information under rule 30b2-1 is mandatory. The 
information provided under rule 30b2-1 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, 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) Pamela Dyson, Director/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: November 22, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
