Considered is the space \({\mathcal L}(G)\) of all closed subgroups of a locally compact group G, which is endowed with the Vietoris topology, and its subspace n\({\mathcal R}(G)\) consisting of all noncompact subgroups of G. The main result of the paper is Theorem 4: \({\mathcal L}(G)\) is \(\sigma\)- compact iff G is a \(\sigma\)-compact group with a countable number of noncompact closed subgroups. An inner characterization of closed subgroups of G which have a countable pseudocharacter in \({\mathcal L}(G)\) is given. Also, it is shown that for a \(\sigma\)-compact group G, every open \(\sigma\)-compact subset of n\({\mathcal R}(G)\) is countable. The later result is a key to the proof of Theorem 4.
