Extension without change of a currently approved collection
The staff's hour burden
estimate for compliance with rule 31a-2 has decreased slightly,
from 1,082,400 hours to 994,840 hours today, a net decrease of
87,560 hours. Similarly, the staffs estimate for the cost of
compliance has been reduced slightly, from $175,000,000 to
$158,270,000, a reduction of $16,730,000. Both of these changes are
primarily due to a decrease in the number of active investment
companies to which the rule applies, from approximately 4,920
registrants in 2006 to approximately 4,522 registrants in
2009.
