SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Rule 0-2, Form ADV-NR; SEC File No. 270-214; OMB Control No.
3235-0240.
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 (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
The titles for the collections of information are ``Rule 0-2'' (17
CFR 275.0-2) and ``Form ADV-NR'' (17 CFR 279.4) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1). Rule 0-2 and Form ADV-NR
facilitate service of process to non-resident investment advisers and
their non-resident general partners or non-resident managing agents.
The Form requires these persons to designate the Commission as agent
for service of process. The purpose of this collection of information
is to enable the commencement of legal and or regulatory actions
against investment advisers that are doing business in the United
States, but are not residents.
The respondents to this information collection would be each non-
resident general partner or non-resident managing agent of an SEC-
registered adviser. The Commission has estimated that compliance with
the requirement to complete Form ADV-NR imposes a total burden of
approximately 1.0 hours for an adviser. Based on our experience with
these filings, we estimate that we will receive 18 Form ADV-NR filings
annually. Based on the 1.0 hours per respondent estimate, the
Commission staff estimates a total annual burden of 18 hours for this
collection of information.
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
Please direct your written comments to Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432
