Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of FOIA Services,

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
(‘‘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 ‘‘Rule 0–2 and Form
ADV–NR under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940.’’ Rule 0–2 and Form ADV–
NR facilitate service of process on a
non-resident investment adviser, and an
investment adviser’s non-resident
general partner and non-resident
managing agent. Form ADV–NR
designates the Secretary of the
Commission, among others, as the nonresident general partner’s or nonresident managing agent’s agent for
service of process. The collection of
information is necessary for the
Commission to obtain appropriate
consent to permit the Commission and
other parties to bring actions against
non-resident partners and agents for
violations of the federal securities laws
and to enable the commencement of
legal and regulatory actions against
investment advisers that are doing
business in the United States, but are
not residents.
The respondents to this information
collection are each non-resident general
partner and non-resident managing
agent of both SEC-registered investment
advisers and exempt reporting advisers.
Based on our experience with Form
ADV–NR filings, we estimate we will
receive 41 Form ADV–NR filings

annually, each taking one hour to
complete, for an aggregate annual time
burden of 41 hours. We estimate no
external cost burden.
Rule 0–2 and Form ADV–NR do not
require recordkeeping or records
retention. The collection of information
requirements under the rule and form
are mandatory. The information
collected pursuant to Rule 0–2 and
Form ADV–NR is a filing with the
Commission and is not kept
confidential.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’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
by March 31, 2025.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments

Officer, Securities and Exchange

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 19 / Thursday, January 30, 2025 / Notices
on the collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Rule 204A–1 (17 CFR
275.204A–1) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940’’ (15 U.S.C. 80b–
1 et seq.) Rule 204A–1 (the ‘‘Code of
Ethics Rule’’) requires investment
advisers registered with the Commission
to (i) set forth standards of conduct
expected of advisory personnel
(including compliance with the federal
securities laws); (ii) safeguard material
nonpublic information about client
transactions; and (iii) require the
adviser’s ‘‘access persons’’ to report
their personal securities transactions,
including transactions in any mutual
fund managed by the adviser. The Code
of Ethics Rule requires access persons to
obtain the adviser’s approval before
investing in an initial public offering or
private placement. The Code of Ethics
Rule also requires prompt reporting, to
the adviser’s chief compliance officer or
another person designated in the code of
ethics, of any violations of the code.
Finally, the Code of Ethics Rule requires
the adviser to provide each supervised
person with a copy of the code and any
amendments, and require the
supervised persons to acknowledge, in
writing, their receipt of these copies.
The purposes of the information
collection requirements are to: (i) ensure
that advisers maintain codes of ethics
applicable to their supervised persons;
(ii) provide advisers with information
about the personal securities
transactions of their access persons for
purposes of monitoring such
transactions; (iii) provide advisory
clients with information with which to
evaluate advisers’ codes of ethics; and
(iv) assist the Commission’s
examination staff in assessing the
adequacy of advisers’ codes of ethics
and assessing personal trading activity
by advisers’ supervised persons.
The respondents to this information
collection are investment advisers
registered with the Commission. The
Commission has estimated that
compliance with rule 204A–1 imposes a
burden of approximately 91 hours per
adviser annually for an estimated total
annual burden of 1,449,221 hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
