SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[SEC File No. 270–813, OMB Control No.
3235–0765]

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Extension: Rule
498A
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
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 498A under the Securities Act
permits a person to satisfy its
prospectus delivery obligations under
section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act for
a contract by: (1) sending or giving to
new investors key information
contained in a variable contract
statutory prospectus in the form of an
initial summary prospectus; (2) sending
or giving to existing investors each year
a brief description of certain changes to
the contract, and a subset of the
information in the initial summary
prospectus, in the form of an updating
summary prospectus; and (3) providing
the statutory prospectus and other
materials online. Rule 498A considers a
person to have met its prospectus
delivery obligations for any portfolio
companies associated with a variable
contract if the portfolio company
prospectuses are posted online. Under
the rule, a registrant (or the financial
intermediary distributing the variable
contract) relying on the rule must send
the variable contract statutory
prospectus (that statutory prospectus
must be filed as part of registration
statement on Form N–3, N–4, or N–6, as
29 17

PO 00000

applicable) and other materials to an
investor in paper or electronic format
upon request.
Based on an analysis of fund filings,
we estimate that 82% of variable
contracts that filed annual updates to
their registration statements use at least
one summary prospectus under rule
498A. In the aggregate, the Commission
staff estimates the total annual hour
burden to comply with rule 498A to be
7,634 hours, at an internal time cost
equivalent of $2,337,471, and a total
annual external cost burden of
$9,094,866.
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.
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 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 January 2, 2024 to (i)
MBX.OMB.OIRA.SEC_desk_officer@
omb.eop.gov and (ii) David Bottom,
Director/Chief Information Officer,

Washington, DC 20549, or by sending an

Dated: November 27, 2023.

Assistant Secretary.
