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 Commission's 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.
(Section)3507.
