SEC'S COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

   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. Filing of this Form is mandatory. Section 30 of the
   Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and the rules thereunder, and
   Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require
   investment companies to file annual and periodic reports with the
   Commission. The Commission has specified Form N-SAR for reports for
   investment companies. The Commission staff uses the information in
   performing inspections of investment companies, selectively reviewing
   registration documents filed under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of
   1933 and conducting studies and other types of analyses necessary to keep
   the Commission's regulatory program for investment companies current in
   relation to changing industry conditions. The information collected on Form
   N-SAR is publicly available. 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 the burden of the Form. This
   collection of information has been reviewed by the Office of Management and
   Budget in accordance with the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. (S)3507.
