Subject: Securities and Exchange Commission: Investment Company Reporting
        Modernization

Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
major rule promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission)
entitled Investment Company Reporting Modernization (RIN: 3235-AL42). We
received the rule on October 19, 2016. It was published in the Federal Register as a
final rule on November 18, 2016. 81 Fed. Reg. 81,870. The final rule is effective
January 17, 2017, except for the amendments specified in the rule, which are effective
June 1, 2018.

The final rule adopts new rules and forms as well as amendments to the Commission's
rules and forms in order to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by
registered investment companies. For example, the Commission is adopting new Form
N-PORT, which will require certain registered investment companies to report
information about their monthly portfolio holdings to the Commission in a structured data
format.

Enclosed is our assessment of the Commission's compliance with the procedural steps
required by section 801 (a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our
review of the procedural steps taken indicates that the Commission complied with the
applicable requirements.
