SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-657, OMB Control No. 3235-0705]


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 30b1-8 and Form N-CR


[[Page 7138]]


    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 30b1-8 under the Act [17 CFR 270.30b1-8], entitled ``Current 
Report for Money Market Funds,'' provides that every registered open-
end management investment company, or series thereof, that is regulated 
as a money market fund under rule 2a-7 [17 CFR 270.2a-7], that 
experiences any of the events specified on Form N-CR [17 CFR 274.222], 
must file with the Commission a current report on Form N-CR within the 
time period specified in that form. The information collection 
requirements for rule 30b1-8 and Form N-CR are designed to assist 
Commission staff in its oversight of money market funds and its ability 
to respond to market events. It also provides investors with better and 
timelier disclosure of potentially important events. Finally, the 
Commission is able to use the information provided on Form N-CR in its 
regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and policymaking roles. The 
rule imposes a burden per report of approximately 8.5 hours and 
$1018.5, so that the total annual burden for the estimated 6 reports 
filed per year on Form N-CR is 51 hours and $19,839.
    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.
    The collection of information on Form N-CR is mandatory for any 
fund that holds itself out as a money market fund in reliance on rule 
2a-7. 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 website, 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: 
Lindsay.M.Abate@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) David Bottom, Director/Chief 
Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Cynthia 
Roscoe, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 or send an email to: 
PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Written comments and recommendations for the 
proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of 
publication of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find

30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search

Assistant Secretary.
