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 676 registrants governed by Rule 11a-2. The 
Commission includes the estimated burden of complying with the 
information collection required by Rule

[[Page 14494]]

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 background documentation for this information 
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. 
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom, 
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,

    Dated: March 11, 2021.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
