SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-520, OMB Control No. 3235-0577]


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:
    Rule 30b1-5

    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 (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 30b1-5 (17 CFR 270.30b1-5) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the ``Investment Company Act'') 
requires registered management investment companies, other than small 
business investment companies registered on Form N-5 (17 CFR 239.24 and 
274.5) (``funds''), to file a quarterly report via the Commission's 
EDGAR system on Form N-Q (17 CFR 249.332 and 274.130), not more than 
sixty calendar days after the close of each first and third fiscal 
quarter, containing their complete portfolio holdings. The purpose of 
the collection of information required by rule 30b1-5 is to meet the 
disclosure requirements of the Investment Company Act and to provide 
investors with information necessary to evaluate an interest in the 
fund by improving the transparency of information about the fund's 
portfolio holdings.
    The Commission estimates that there are 2,380 management investment 
companies, with a total of approximately 11,757 portfolios, that are 
governed by the rule. For purposes of this analysis, the burden 
associated with the requirements of rule 30b1-5 has been included in 
the collection of information requirements of Form N-Q, rather than the 
rule.
    The collection of information under rule 30b1-5 is mandatory. The 
information provided under rule 30b1-5 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 agency, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency'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.

Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549; or send an email

    Dated: May 9, 2017.

Assistant Secretary.
