On August 9, 2010, EPA had personal communication with George F.

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 30e-2; SEC File No. 270-437; OMB Control No. 3235-
0494.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), (the ``Paperwork Reduction Act'')
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``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.
    Section 30(e) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-
29(e)) (the ``Investment Company Act'') and Rule 30e-2 \1\ (17 CFR
270.30e-2) thereunder require registered unit investment trusts
(``UITs'') that invest substantially all of their assets in securities
of a management investment company \2\ (``fund'') to send to
shareholders at least semi-annually a report containing certain
financial statements and other information. Specifically, Rule 30e-2
requires that the report contain the financial statements and other
information that Rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR
270.30e-1) requires to be included in the report of the underlying fund
for the same fiscal period. Rule 30e-1 requires that the underlying
fund's report contain, among other things, the financial statements and
other information that is required to

be included in such report by the fund's registration form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Rule 30e-2 was originally adopted as Rule 30d-2, but was
redesignated as Rule 30e-2 effective February 15, 2001. See Role of
Independent Directors of Investment Companies, Investment Company
Act Release No. 24816 (Jan. 2, 2001) (66 FR 3734 (Jan. 16, 2001)).
    \2\ Management investment companies are defined in Section 4 of
the Investment Company Act as any investment company other than a
face-amount certificate company or a unit investment trust, as those
terms are defined in Section 4 of the Investment Company Act. See 15
U.S.C. 80a-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this requirement is to apprise current shareholders
of the operational and financial condition of the UIT. Absent the
requirement to disclose all material information in reports, investors
would be unable to obtain accurate information upon which to base
investment decisions and consumer confidence in the securities industry
might be adversely affected. Requiring the submission of these reports
to the Commission permits us to verify compliance with securities law
requirements. In addition, Rule 30e-2 permits, under certain
conditions, delivery of a single shareholder report to investors who
share an address (``householding''). Specifically, Rule 30e-2 permits
householding of annual and semi-annual reports by UITs to satisfy the
delivery requirements of Rule 30e-2 if, in addition to the other
conditions set forth in the rule, the UIT has obtained from each
applicable investor written or implied consent to the householding of
shareholder reports at such address. The rule requires UITs that wish
to household shareholder reports with implied consent to send a notice
to each applicable investor stating that the investors in the household
will receive one report in the future unless the investors provide
contrary instructions. In addition, at least once a year, UITs relying
on the rule for householding must explain to investors who have
provided written or implied consent how they can revoke their consent.
Preparing and sending the initial notice and the annual explanation of
the right to revoke consent are collections of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The purpose of the notice and annual
explanation requirements associated with the householding provisions of
the rule is to ensure that investors who wish to receive individual
copies of shareholder reports are able to do so.
    The Commission estimates that as of 2009, approximately 820 UITs
were subject to the provisions of Rule 30e-2. The Commission further
estimates that the annual burden associated with Rule 30e-2 is 121
hours for each UIT, including an estimated 20 hours associated with the
notice requirement for householding and an estimated 1 hour associated
with the explanation of the right to revoke consent to householding,
for a total of 99,220 burden hours.
    In addition to the burden hours, the Commission estimates that the
cost of contracting for outside services associated with complying with
Rule 30e-2 is $20,000 per respondent (80 hours times $250 per hour for
independent auditor services), for a total of $16,400,000 ($20,000 per
respondent times 820 respondents).
    These estimates are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules and
forms.
    The collection of information under Rule 30e-2 is mandatory. The
information provided under Rule 30e-2 is not kept confidential. The
Commission may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collections of information are 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 collections of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collections 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
General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_

[Project No. 15116-000]

Ocean Renewable Power Company, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 29, 2021, Ocean Renewable Power Company, Inc. filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the proposed
East Foreland Tidal Energy Project No. 15116-000, to be located on Cook
Inlet near Nikiski and adjacent lands of the Kenai Peninsula Borough,
Alaska. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to
grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during
the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A series
of proprietary turbine-generator units with a combined capacity of no
more than 5 megawatts; (2) a 1- to 5-mile-long, 12.5- to 25-kV
submarine transmission cable from the module site to an onshore
location on the west coast of the Kenai Peninsula; (3) an approximately
0.75-mile-long, 12.5- to 25-kV above-ground transmission line leading
to a substation owned by Homer Electric Association; and (4)
appurtenant facilities. The estimated annual generation of the East
Foreland project would be up to 13.5 gigawatt-hours.

CERCLA have been completed. However, this deletion does not preclude
future actions under Superfund.
