SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-136, OMB Control No. 3235-0157]


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 N-8F

    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 a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Form N-8F (17 CFR 274.218) is the form prescribed for use by 
registered investment companies in certain circumstances to request 
orders of the Commission declaring that the registration of that 
investment company cease to be in effect. The form requests information 
about: (i) The investment company's identity, (ii) the investment 
company's distributions, (iii) the investment company's assets and 
liabilities, (iv) the events leading to the request to deregister, and 
(v) the conclusion of the investment company's business. The 
information is needed by the Commission to determine whether an order 
of deregistration is appropriate.
    The Form takes approximately 5.2 hours on average to complete. It 
is estimated that approximately 143 investment companies file Form N-8F 
annually, so the total annual burden for the form is estimated to be 
approximately 744 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.
    The collection of information on Form N-8F is not mandatory. The 
information provided on Form N-8F 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 background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: >www.reginfo.gov<. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
by June 13, 2022. to (i) [email protected] and 
(ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549, or by sending an email to: [email protected].

    Dated: May 9, 2022.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
