Short Statement: Currently, the approved annual time burden for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements is 120,444 hours. The new estimate for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements is 156,000 hours, representing an increase of 35,556 hours. The increase in hourly burden is due to an increase in the number of funds as well as the Commission's increased estimate of the number of funds that will provide risk/return summary information as interactive data in additional filings submitted pursuant to rule 485(b) or rule 497 annually. Currently, the total cost burden for software and/or consulting services is approximately $7,098,970. The new total cost burden is approximately $8,200,000, representing an increase of $1,101,030. This increase is due to the increase in the number of funds as well as accounting for the effects of inflation.
