Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimates represent an increase from 935,049 hours to 1,043,592 hours in internal burden and an increase from $333,905,750 to $368,352,399 in external costs per year. The increase in internal burden hours is due to both the increase in the number of portfolios estimated to respond to rule 30e-1, the increased burden of our amendments to Regulation S-X, and the inapplicability of one-time hour burdens that were associated with amendments to Forms N-1A, N-2 and N-3. The increase in external costs per year is also due to the increase in the number of portfolios estimated to respond to rule 30e-1.
