SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form 24F-2; SEC File No. 270-399 ; OMB Control No. 3235-0456.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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.
    Rule 24f-2 (17 CFR 270.24f-2) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a) requires any open-end management companies 
(``mutual funds''), unit investment trusts (``UITs'') or face-amount 
certificate companies

[[Page 475]]

(collectively, ``funds'') deemed to have registered an indefinite 
amount of securities to file, not later than 90 days after the end of 
any fiscal year in which it has publicly offered such securities, Form 
24F-2 (17 CFR 274.24) with the Commission. Form 24F-2 is the annual 
notice of securities sold by funds that accompanies the payment of 
registration fees with respect to the securities sold during the fiscal 
year.
    The Commission estimates that 5707 funds file Form 24F-2 on the 
required annual basis. The average annual burden per respondent for 
Form 24F-2 is estimated to be two hours. The total annual burden for 
all respondents to Form 24F-2 is estimated to be 11,414 hours. The 
estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a comprehensive or 
even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules.
    Compliance with the collection of information required by Form 24F-
2 is mandatory. The Form 24F-2 filing that must be made to the 
Commission is available to the public. 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.
    Please direct general comments regarding the above information to 
the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to: Shagufta_
Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, Securities 
and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 
Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 
Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: December 29, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
