Form N-2 is the registration statement used by closed-end management investment companies, except small business investment companies and insurance company separate accounts, to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and to register their securities under the Securities Act of 1933. The SEC uses the information filed in registration statements to verify compliance with the federal securities laws.

Currently, the approved annual time burden for preparing and filing registration statements on Form N-2 is 87,097 hours based on the previous estimate of 205 responses. The new estimate of the total hour burden is 86,533 hours based on the new estimated total number of responses of 191. The decrease in the total annual hour burden is 564 hours. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in the number of Form N-2 filings.
