), the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) is soliciting comments on the proposed collection of information discussed below. Compliance with rule 22d-1 is required to retain or obtain the benefits of rule 22d-1. We estimate that approximately 6,740 funds currently issue redeemable securities that carry a sales load. [ ] We estimate that each year, as many as 50% of these series may choose to offer a scheduled variation in or elimination of the sales load in reliance on the rule. There will be a second opportunity to comment on this SEC request following the Federal Register publishing a 30-day Submission Notice.
