Open-end management investment companies ("funds") are required to submit to the Commission information included in their registration statements, or information included in or amended by post-effective amendments thereto, in response to Items 2, 3, and 4 ("risk/return summary information") of Form N-1A (OMB Control No. 3235-0307) in interactive data format in interactive data form. In addition, funds are required to submit an interactive data file to the Commission for any form of prospectus filed pursuant to rule 497(c) or (e) under the Securities Act of 1933 that includes risk/return summary information that varies from the registration statement. The Commission has adopted amendments to require use of the "Inline XBRL" format for the submission of mutual fund risk/return summary information using the machine-readable (i.e., interactive) eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format in interactive data files, and to eliminate the aforementioned website posting requirements.
The estimated hourly burden associated with the Investment Company Interactive Data collection of information would increase from 178,803 hours to 179,258 hours (an increase of 455 hours). In addition, the cost burden associated with the Investment Company Interactive Data collection of information would increase from $10,000,647 to $10,545,947 (an increase of $545,300). The changes in burden hours and external cost burdens are new to the proposed requirements.
