Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Previously, the Commission estimated an annual total hour burden of approximately 459,637 hours for complying with rule 482. This number was based on a yearly estimate of 89,077 responses filed by 4,106 investment companies offering approximately 37,265 portfolios with an estimated burden of 5.16 hours per response. The Commission now estimates 301,179 total burden hours, a net decrease of 158,458 burden hours per year for complying with rule 482 from the previous submission. This change is due to a decrease in the estimated number of annual responses to rule 482 from 87,077 to 58,368 (resulting in a decrease of 158,458 burden hours based on the current estimate of 5.16 hours per response).
