Re:Filings pursuant to Rule 485(b)(1)(vii)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of the investment companies (each, a "Registrant") listed on Exhibit A (and, where applicable, their series listed on Exhibit A (each, a "Fund")), we request permission from the staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to allow each Registrant to file a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form N-1A (a "Replicate filing") pursuant to Rule 485(b)(1)(vii) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to (i) add disclosure regarding variations in sales loads available to investors who purchase Class A or Class C shares of the Funds on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms or through a Janney Montgomery Scott LLC brokerage account (the "New Sales Load Variations"), and (ii) move all disclosure regarding variations in sales loads for certain intermediaries to an appendix to the statutory prospectus (the "Appendix"). In connection with this request, please note that, on February 24, 2020, BNY Mellon Active MidCap Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Strategic Funds, Inc. (File Nos. 2-88816; 811-03940) filed a post-effective amendment to its registration statement on Form N-1A (the "Template filing") pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under the Securities Act adding the New Sales Load Variations and the Appendix.

 

In Investment Company Act Release No. 20486 (August 17, 1994) regarding amendments to the procedures of the Commission for filing post-effective amendments (the "Release"), the Commission adopted paragraph (b)(1)(vii) (formerly (b)(1)(ix)) under Rule 485. The provision allows the Commission, on a discretionary basis, to permit certain types of post-effective amendments not otherwise eligible to be filed under Rule 485(b) to become automatically effective under Rule 485(b). Footnote 9 of the Release indicates that amendments containing substantially identical revisions filed by a number of funds in a fund complex may be filed under Rule 485(b) if the Staff had previously had an opportunity to review the disclosure in an amendment filed under Rule 485(a).

 

We are requesting that the Staff grant the requested relief prior to the effective date of the Template filing, as contemplated by Mutual Fund Fee Structures, IM Guidance Update 2016-06 (December 2016). In addition, pursuant to FAQ No. 1 of Frequently Asked Questions on IM Guidance Update 2016-06 (Mutual Fund Fee Structures) we plan to implement the New Sales Load Variations by making a filing under Rule 497, followed by a Rule 485(b) filing, for Funds that are implementing the New Sales Load Variations and that would not have otherwise needed to amend their registration statements prior to implementing sales load variations. Specifically, we wish to make filings pursuant to Rule 497 on or about May 1, 2020.

 

In connection with our request, each Registrant hereby makes the following representations:

 

·the disclosure changes in the Template filing are substantially identical to disclosure changes that will be made in the Replicate filings;

 

 

 

 

·the Replicate filings will incorporate changes made to the disclosure included in the Template filing to resolve any staff comments thereon; and

 

·the Replicate flings will not include any other changes that would otherwise render them ineligible for filing under Rule 485(b).

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Jeff S. Prusnofsky

Jeff S. Prusnofsky, Vice President and Assistant Secretary of each Registrant listed on Exhibit A
