Extension:
Form N–PORT

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.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form N–PORT under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.’’
Form N–PORT requires funds to report
portfolio holdings information in a
structured, XML format. The form is
filed electronically using the
Commission’s electronic filing system
(Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and
Retrieval or ‘‘EDGAR’’). The purpose of
Form N–PORT is to satisfy the filing and
disclosure requirements of Section 30(b)
of the Investment Company Act, and of
Rule 30b1–9 thereunder.
We estimate that 11980 entities will
be required to submit reports on Form
N–PORT. We estimate that 35% of
funds will file reports on Form N–PORT
in house and the remaining 65% of
funds will retain the services of a third
party to prepare and file reports on
Form N–PORT on the fund’s behalf. The
estimated annual hourly burden
associated with Form N–PORT
1,839,903 hours for an average of 153.6
hours per entity. The total annual
internal time cost associated with Form
N–PORT is $654,658,288. The total
annual external cost associated with
Form N–PORT is $113,858,133.

Potential Technical Changes to
EDGAR Filer Access and Filer Account
Management Processes
Securities and Exchange
Commission.
ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:

The Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is
requesting comment on potential
technical changes related to how
entities and individuals access the
Commission’s Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval
system (‘‘EDGAR’’) to make
submissions, and how these entities and
individuals (‘‘filers’’) manage the
permissions of individuals who may file
on EDGAR on their behalf. Individuals
who seek to file on EDGAR on behalf of
a filer would be directed to a third-party
service provider to create individual
user account credentials and to enable
multifactor authentication. Each filer
would designate a ‘‘filer
administrator’’—analogous to the
current filer contact person who
receives the filer’s EDGAR access
codes—to manage the permissions of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

comment period, the Commission will
open an EDGAR ‘‘Beta’’ environment

preview and test many of the potential
access changes. The Commission plans
to provide more information regarding
