SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-267, OMB Control No. 3235-0272]


Submission for OMB Review; 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 11a-2.

    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 a request for extension of the previously 
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 11a-2 (17 CFR 270.11a-2) under the Investment Company Act of 
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) permits certain registered insurance 
company separate accounts, subject to certain conditions, to make 
exchange offers without prior approval by the Commission of the terms 
of those offers. Rule 11a-2 requires disclosure, in certain 
registration statements filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 
(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) of any administrative fee or sales load imposed 
in connection with an exchange offer.
    There are currently 652 registrants governed by Rule 11a-2. The 
Commission includes the estimated burden of complying with the 
information collection required by Rule 11a-2 in the total number of 
burden hours estimated for completing the relevant registration 
statements and reports the burden of Rule 11a-2 in the separate 
Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') submissions for those registration 
statements (see the separate PRA submissions for Form N-3 (17 CFR 
274.11b), Form N-4 (17 CFR 274.11c) and Form N-6 (17 CFR 274.11d). The 
Commission is requesting a burden of one hour for Rule 11a-2 for 
administrative purposes.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the PRA, and is not derived from a comprehensive or even a 
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules or 
forms. With regard to Rule 11a-2, the Commission includes the estimate 
of burden hours in the total number of burden hours estimated for 
completing the relevant registration statements and reported on the 
separate PRA submissions for those statements (see the separate PRA 
submissions for Form N-3, Form N-4 and Form N-6).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Rule 11a-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, 
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) Pamela Dyson, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi 
Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an email 
to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 
days of this notice.

    Dated: March 24, 2015.
Brent J. Fields,
Secretary.
