SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form N-2; SEC File No. 270-21, OMB Control No. 3235-0026.

    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 collections of 
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this 
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and 
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-2 (17 CFR 
239.14 and 274.11a-1) under the Securities Act of 1933 and under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, Registration Statement of Closed-End 
Management Investment Companies.'' Form N-2 is the form used by closed-
end management investment companies (``closed-end funds'') to register 
as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 
U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company Act'') and to register 
their securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 
seq.) (``Securities Act''). The primary purpose of the registration 
process is to provide disclosure of financial and other information 
current and potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an 
investment in a security. Form N-2 also permits closed-end funds to 
provide investors with a prospectus containing information required in 
a registration statement prior to the sale or at the time of 
confirmation of delivery of securities. The form also may be used by 
the Commission in its regulatory review, inspection, and policy-making 
roles.
    The Commission estimates that there are 136 initial registration 
statements and 30 post-effective amendments to initial registration 
statements filed on Form N-2 annually and that the average number of 
portfolios referenced in each initial filing and post-effective 
amendment is 1. The Commission further estimates that the hour burden 
for preparing and filing an initial registration statement on Form N-2 
is 515 hours per portfolio, and the hour burden for preparing and 
filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-2 is 107 hours per 
portfolio. The estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing 
initial registration statements is 70,040 hours (136 initial 
registration statements x 1 portfolio x 515 hours per portfolio). The 
estimated annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-effective 
amendments is 3,210 hours (30 post-effective amendments x 1 portfolio x 
107 hours per portfolio). The estimated total annual hour burden for 
Form N-2, therefore, is estimated to be 73,250 hours (70,040 hours + 
3,210 hours).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-2 are 
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information 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 control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov. 
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and 
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
