Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total annual time burden of 45,214 hours represents a decrease of 48,975 hours over the previous burden hour estimate of 94,189 hours. In addition, we now estimate that funds incur an annual cost burden of $4,424,480. The changes in burden hours and cost burdens are due to a decrease in the number of money market funds filing reports on Form N-MFP (from 719 to 694), as well as discussions with industry participants that informed our understanding as to widespread use of third-party developed software solutions and a reallocation of burden hours to external costs, as described above.
