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 and to post it on their Web sites, if any,
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 and to post
the interactive data file on their Web sites, if any. The
Commission has proposed 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.
Currently, the approved annual
hour burden for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data
requirements is 172,323 hours. The new estimate for complying with
the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements after accounting for
the Inline Tagging of XBRL Data adoption is 178,803 hours,
representing an increase of 6,480 hours. The increase in hourly
burden is due to the Commission’s increased estimate in the number
of funds that would provide risk/return summary information as
interactive data in additional filings submitted pursuant to rule
485(b) or rule 497 annually, along with an estimate that the Inline
XBRL requirements (including the elimination of website posting
requirements) for mutual fund risk/return summary will result in an
overall decrease in burden hours per filing. Currently, the
approved total cost burden for software and/or consulting services
for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements is
approximately $9,355,713. The estimated new total cost burden is
$10,000,647, representing an increase of $644,934. This increase is
due to an increase in the estimated number of funds and an increase
in the estimated software costs per fund.
