Abstract: This note provides an effective bound in the Gauss-Kuzmin-L'evy problem for some Gauss type shifts associated with nearest integer continued fractions and acting on the interval $I_0=[0,frac12]$ or $I_0=[-frac12,frac12]$. We prove asymptotic formulas $lambda(T^{-n}I)=mu(I)(vert{I}_{0}vert+O(q^n))$ for such transformations $T$, where $lambda$ is the Lebesgue measure on $mathbbR$, $mu$ the normalized $T$-invariant Lebesgue absolutely continuous measure, $I$ subinterval in $I_0$, and $q=0.288$ is smaller than the Wirsing constant $q_W=0.3036ldots$
