Certain funds have current requirements to submit to the Commission information included in their registration statements, or information included in or amended by any post-effective amendments to such registration statements, in response to certain form items in structured data language (“Investment Company Interactive Data”). This also includes the requirement for funds to submit interactive data to the Commission for any form of prospectus filed pursuant to 17 CFR 230.497(c) or 17 CFR 230.497(e) under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) [15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.] that includes information in response to certain form items. This collection of information relates to regulations and forms adopted under the Securities Act, and the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) [15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.] that set forth disclosure requirements for funds and other issuers. The paperwork burdens for the rules under section 8(b) of the Investment Company Act are imposed through the forms and reports that are subject to the requirements in these rules and are reflected in the PRA burdens of those documents.
On October 26, 2022, the Commission adopted rule and form amendments that require open-end management investment companies (“open-end funds”) to transmit concise and visually engaging annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders that highlight key information that is particularly important for retail investors to assess and monitor their fund investments. Specifically, the final rule and form amendments require open-end funds to tag their shareholder report contents using Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language or “Inline XBRL.” These requirements will make open-end funds’ shareholder report disclosure more readily available and easily accessible for aggregation, comparison, filtering, and other analysis.
The annual burden hours for the collection of information for Investment Company Interactive Data is estimated to increase from 323,724 hours to 324,484 hours (an increase of 760 hours). We estimate that external costs would increase from $16,041,450 to $16,124,450 (an increase of $83,000). The changes in annual burden hours and external cost burdens are due to the proposed amendments to Form N-4 and Rule 405 of Regulation S-T that would require RILA issuers that file on Form N-4 to tag specified information using Inline XBRL.
