SEC's Collection of Information
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. Filing of this Form
is mandatory. Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of
1940 (1940 Act) and the rules thereunder, and Sections 13 and
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require
investment companies to file annual and periodic reports with
the Commission. The Commission has specified Form N-SAR
for reports for investment companies. The Commission staff
uses the information in performing inspections of investment
companies, selectively reviewing registration documents filed
under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933 and
conducting studies and other types of analyses necessary to
keep the Commissions regulatory program for investment
companies current in relation to changing industry conditions.
The information collected on Form N-SAR is publicly
available. Any member of the public may direct to the
Commission any comments concerning the accuracy of the
burden estimate of this Form and any suggestions for reducing
the burden of the Form. This collection of information has
been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in
accordance with the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C.
3507.
