Abstract: The Department's regulation at 29 CFR 2510.3-38 provides that, in order to meet the definition of investment manager in ERISA 3(38), state-registered investment advisers must register electronically through a centralized electronic filing system established by the SEC and state investment authorities ("IARD") rather than providing a paper copy of their state registration to the Secretary of Labor.

Short Statement: There have been no program changes to this information collection since the prior ICR. The burden estimates have been adjusted to take into account the fact that most investment advisers that are affected by this information collection have already invested in the systems necessary to make use of electronic methods of communication through the Internet. Therefore, capital investments previously assumed to be required have been eliminated, reducing the annual hour and cost burdens of this information collection. Wage rates have also been updated.
