SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.

Extension: Form N-CSR; SEC File No. 270-512; OMB Control No. 3235-
0570.

    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 (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.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-CSR (17 CFR
249.331 and 17 CFR 274.128) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Securities Exchange Act''), and under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment
Company Act''), Certified Shareholder Report of Registered Management
Investment Companies.'' Form N-CSR is a combined reporting form used by
management investment companies to file certified shareholder reports
under the Investment Company Act and under the Securities Exchange Act.
Form N-CSR is to be used for reports under section 30(b)(2) of the
Investment Company Act and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act, filed pursuant to rule 30b2-1(a) under the Investment
Company Act (17 CFR 270.30b2-1(a)). Form N-CSR reports are to be filed
with the Commission not later than 10 days after the transmission to
stockholders of any report that is required to be transmitted to
stockholders under rule 30e-1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR
270.30e-1). The information provided on Form N-CSR may be used by the
Commission in its regulatory, disclosure review, inspection, and
policymaking roles. The information filed with the Commission also
permits the verification of compliance with securities law requirements
and assures the public availability and dissemination of the
information.
    The Commission estimates that there are 7,300 reports filed on Form
N-CSR annually and that the average number of portfolios referenced in
each filing is 2.5. The Commission further estimates that the hour
burden for preparing and filing a report on Form N-CSR is 7.57 hours
per portfolio. Given that filings on Form N-CSR are filed semi-
annually, filings on Form N-CSR require 15.14 hours per portfolio each
year. The total annual hour burden for Form N-CSR, therefore, is
estimated to be 138,153 hours.
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-CSR are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept
confidential. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    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 R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way,

Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: March 28, 2007.

Deputy Secretary.

improvements. The applicant also intends to incorporate into the
license four fish protection measures that were developed by the
applicant, agencies, and tribes which it has been voluntarily
implementing since 1995. These measures are: (1) Limit downramping
rates to < 3,000 cfs/hr from October 16 to December 31 each year; (2)
begin salmon fry stranding protection January 1 instead of February 1;

rather than November 15; and (4) increase November/December chum salmon
minimum incubation flows in Table C-3 of the Fisheries Settlement
Agreement.
