SEC opens comment period on Rule 0-2 paperwork extension
The SEC is seeking comment on extending the paperwork approval for Rule 0-2 under the Investment Company Act, covering general requirements for papers and applications submitted to the Commission.
Reported by Daniel KimThe Securities and Exchange Commission has opened a Paperwork Reduction Act comment period for an extension of Rule 0-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The rule covers general requirements for papers and applications filed with the Commission under that statute.
Paperwork notices like this are procedural but important. They are how the SEC maintains OMB approval for recurring information collections, documents estimated burdens, and gives regulated parties a chance to challenge or improve the agency’s assumptions.
The practical audience is investment-company counsel, compliance staff, and market participants who prepare submissions under the Investment Company Act. Comments can focus on whether the collection remains necessary, the accuracy of the burden estimate, and possible ways to improve clarity or reduce cost.
