SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


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 
20549-0213

Extension:
    Rule 22d-1, SEC File No. 270-275, OMB Control No. 3235-0310

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (``Paperwork Reduction Act'') (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ``1940 
Act'') (17 CFR 270.22d-1) provides registered investment companies that 
issue redeemable securities (``funds'') an exemption from section 22(d) 
of the 1940 Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-22(d)) to the extent necessary to permit 
scheduled variations in or elimination of the sales load on fund 
securities for particular classes of investors or transactions, 
provided certain conditions are met. The rule imposes an annual burden 
per series of a fund of approximately 15 minutes, so that the total 
annual burden for the approximately 4,509 series of funds that might 
rely on the rule is estimated to be 1127.25 hours.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is based on 
communications with industry representatives, and is not derived from a 
comprehensive or even a representative survey or study.
    Responses 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 OMB 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: June 13, 2017.
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
