Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Extension: Form N-Q
The SEC is extending the information collection requirements for Form N-Q, which is used by registered investment companies to report portfolio holdings. This does not directly impact money services businesses or money transmitters, as Form N-Q is specific to SEC-registered investment companies, not MSBs. However, if an MSB is also an investment company (unlikely), it may be affected.
