The XBRL Voluntary Program Questionaire consists mainly of questions based on the respondent's experience with submitting eXtensible Business Reporting Language ("XBRL") tagged data to the Commission on a voluntary basis as a supplemental exhibit to specified filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.] and Investment Company Act of 1940 [15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.).
The questionnaire would be a new collection of information and, as a result, create a new burden. In this regard, we estimate that 80 issuers each would respond once and need four hours to do so for a total burden of 320 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
