The Securities and Exchange Commission staff confirms it will not recommend enforcement action against six specified closed-end funds if they utilize Rule 486(b) to file post-effective amendments to their shelf registration statements. This relief allows the funds to register additional shares or update financial statements with immediate effectiveness, bypassing the standard review process required under Section 8(c) of the Securities Act. The staff retains the authority to withdraw this assurance if a fund misuses Rule 486(b) or for any other reason.
