SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-776, OMB Control No. 3235-0730]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Extension:
    Form N-PORT

    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.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-PORT under 
the Investment Company Act of 1940.'' Form N-PORT requires funds to 
report portfolio holdings information in a structured, XML format. The 
form is filed electronically using the Commission's electronic filing 
system (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval or 
``EDGAR''). The purpose of Form N-PORT is to satisfy the filing and 
disclosure requirements of Section 30(b) of the Investment Company Act, 
and of Rule 30b1-9 thereunder.
    We estimate that 11980 entities will be required to submit reports 
on Form N-PORT. We estimate that 35% of funds will file reports on Form 
N-PORT in house and the remaining 65% of funds will retain the services 
of a third party to prepare and file reports on Form N-PORT on the 
fund's behalf. The estimated annual hourly burden associated with Form 
N-PORT 1,839,903 hours for an average of 153.6 hours per entity. The 
total annual internal time cost associated with Form N-PORT is 
$654,658,288. The total annual external cost associated with Form N-
PORT is $113,858,133.
    The requirements of this collection of information are mandatory. 
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 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. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 60 days 
of this notice.

    Dated: July 15, 2021.
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
