Extension: Form N-8F
SEC File No. 270-136, OMB Control No. 3235-0157
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”) is
soliciting comments on the collection of information summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
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 135 investment companies file Form N-8F annually, so the total
annual burden for the form is estimated to be approximately 702 hours. The estimate of

-2average 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.
Written comments are requested on: (i) whether the collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including
whether the information has practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burdens of the collection of information; (iii) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (iv) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be
given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
Please direct your written comments to Charles Riddle, Acting Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Candace Kenner, 100 F
Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549; or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.
