Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Form N–6F
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
(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.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Form N–6F (17 CFR
274.15), Notice of Intent to Elect to be
Subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.’’ The
purpose of Form N–6F is to notify the
Commission of a company’s intent to
file a notification of election to become
subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (‘‘1940 Act’’).
Certain companies may have to make a
filing with the Commission before they
are ready to elect to be regulated as a
business development company.1 A
company that is excluded from the
definition of ‘‘investment company’’ by
Section 3(c)(1) because it has fewer than
one hundred shareholders and is not
making a public offering of its securities
may lose such an exclusion solely
because it proposes to make a public
offering of securities as a business
development company. Such company,
under certain conditions, would not
lose its exclusion if it notifies the
Commission on Form N–6F of its intent
to make an election to be regulated as
a business development company. The
company only has to file a Form N–6F
once.
The Commission estimates that on
average approximately 9 companies file
these notifications each year. Each of
those companies need only make a
single filing of Form N–6F. The
Commission further estimates that this
information collection imposes burden
of 0.5 hours, resulting in a total annual
1 A company might not be prepared to elect to be
subject to Sections 55 through 65 of the 1940 Act
because its capital structure or management
compensation plan is not yet in compliance with
the requirements of those sections.

PRA burden of 4.5 hours. Based on the
estimated wage rate, the total cost to the
industry of the hour burden for
complying with Form N–6F would be
approximately $1,912.50.
The collection of information under
Form N–6F is mandatory. The
information provided under the form 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 invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have 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
by January 16, 2024.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o John
