SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270-657, OMB Control No. 3235-0705]
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 30b1-8 and Form N-CR
[[Page 7138]]
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (``Paperwork Reduction Act'') (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 30b1-8 under the Act [17 CFR 270.30b1-8], entitled ``Current
Report for Money Market Funds,'' provides that every registered open-
end management investment company, or series thereof, that is regulated
as a money market fund under rule 2a-7 [17 CFR 270.2a-7], that
experiences any of the events specified on Form N-CR [17 CFR 274.222],
must file with the Commission a current report on Form N-CR within the
time period specified in that form. The information collection
requirements for rule 30b1-8 and Form N-CR are designed to assist
Commission staff in its oversight of money market funds and its ability
to respond to market events. It also provides investors with better and
timelier disclosure of potentially important events. Finally, the
Commission is able to use the information provided on Form N-CR in its
regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and policymaking roles. The
rule imposes a burden per report of approximately 8.5 hours and
$1018.5, so that the total annual burden for the estimated 6 reports
filed per year on Form N-CR is 51 hours and $19,839.
The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is based on
communications with industry representatives, and is not derived from a
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.
The collection of information on Form N-CR is mandatory for any
fund that holds itself out as a money market fund in reliance on rule
2a-7. 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 OMB
control number.
The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, 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) David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to:
[email protected]. Written comments and recommendations for the
proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of
publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find

30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search
