TO: UNIT INVESTMENT TRUST MEMBERS NO. 14-89
RE: STATE REGISTRATION FEE SURVEY
__________________________________________________________
We are again mailing to your attention, a survey form
designed to collect registration fee data by state and the cost
of registration and compliance for your trusts. It is very
important that this information is provided to support the
Institute's ongoing effort to reform state laws and regulations
pertaining to investment companies and to obtain relief from
unjustifiably high state fees.
Attachment A is designed to collect information on the
amount of registration fees paid to each state. On Attachment A,
please provide us with the number of trusts registered in each
state and the total dollar amount of fees actually paid to each
state during calendar year 1988.
Attachment B is designed to collect information on the cost
of Blue Sky registration (not including registration fees
recorded on Attachment A) and compliance. On Attachment B,
please carefully follow the instructions to include only the
expenses requested.
Again, if you have any questions about thissurvey, contact
Liz Dolan at the Institute, (202) 955-3566. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT WE HAVE YOUR RESPONSE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CURRENTLY, THERE
IS PROPOSED LEGISLATION IN THE STATES WHICH WE CAN DEAL WITH MORE
EFFECTIVELY WHEN WE HAVE THIS INFORMATION FROM YOU.
Please return the survey to Liz Dolan in the enclosed
envelope. We thank you for your time and cooperation.
