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 estimated annual burden
hours associated with the Investment Company Interactive Data
collection of information has increased from 323,724 hours to
327,571 hours (an increase of 3,847 hours). In addition, the
external cost burden associated with the Investment Company
Interactive Data collection of information has increased from
$16,041,450 to $16,791,000 (an increase of $749,550). The changes
in annual burden hours and external cost burden are due to our
final amendments to investment company registration statement forms
requiring a description of a fund’s name and requiring funds to tag
this disclosure using Inline XBRL.
