 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:
    Rule 30b2-1, SEC File No. 270-213, OMB Control No. 3235-0220.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the 
previously approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 30b2-1 (17 CFR 270.30b2-1) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (the ``Investment Company Act'') 
requires a registered management investment company (``fund'') to (1) 
file a report with the Commission on Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 
274.128) not later than 10 days after the transmission of any report 
required to be transmitted to shareholders under rule 30e-1 under the 
Investment Company Act, and (2) file with the Commission a copy of 
every periodic or interim report or similar communication containing 
financial statements that is transmitted by or on behalf of such fund 
to any class of such fund's security holders and that is not required 
to be filed with the Commission under (1) above, not later than 10 days 
after the transmission to security holders. The purpose of the 
collection of information required by rule 30b2-1 is to meet the 
disclosure requirements of the Investment Company Act and certification

requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Pub. L 107-204, 116 
Stat. 745 (2002)) and to provide investors with information necessary 
to evaluate an interest in the fund.
    The Commission estimates that there are 2,520 funds, with a total 
of approximately 9,250 portfolios, that are governed by the rule. For 
purposes of this analysis, the burden associated with the requirements 
of rule 30b2-1 has been included in the collection of information 
requirements of rule 30e-1 and Form N-CSR, rather than the rule. The 
Commission has, however, requested a one hour burden for administrative 
purposes.
    The collection of information under rule 30b2-1 is mandatory. The 
information provided under rule 30b2-1 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.
    The public may view the background documentation for this 
information collection at the following Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for 
the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New 
Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email 
to: Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Thomas A. Bayer, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an 
email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB 
within 30 days of this notice.

    Dated: November 3, 2011.
Kevin M. O'Neill,
Deputy Secretary.
