not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

the four categories in Instruction 1 may use this form. The 
principal purpose of this collection of

registered investment company has ceased 
to be an investment company as defined by the Act or is a 
business development company. The Commission 
estimates that the burden for completing this form will be
 approximately 5.2 hours per filing. 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 this
 burden. This collection of information 
has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget in 
accordance with the clearance requirements
