to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 350l–3520), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments

Rule 18f–1 (17 CFR 270.18f–1)
enables a registered open-end
management investment company
(‘‘fund’’) that may redeem its securities
in-kind, by making a one-time election,
to commit to make cash redemptions
pursuant to certain requirements
without violating section 18(f) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–18(f)). A fund relying on the
rule must file Form N–18F–1 (17 CFR
274.51) to notify the Commission of this
election. The Commission staff
estimates that 22 funds file Form N–
18F–1 annually, and that each response
takes one hour. Based on these
estimates, the total annual burden hours
associated with the rule is estimated to
be 22 hours. The estimated burden
hours associated with rule 18f–1 and
Form 18F–1 have decreased by 16 hours
from the current allocation of 38 hours.
This decrease is due to a decrease in the
estimated number of investment
companies filing Form N–18F–1
annually. There is no external cost
associated with this collection of
information.
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. 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 invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d)
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.
