Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission estimates that on average approximately 10 business development companies file Form N-54C each year. The Commission further estimates that this information collection imposes a burden of one hour, which results in a total annual PRA burden of 10 hours, representing a decrease of two hours per year. The decrease in burden hours for Form N-54C is attributable to a decrease in the number of estimated respondents per year from 12 to 10. There is no change in the estimated cost for burden for outside professionals associated with the collection of data relating to Form N-54C, because the Commission estimates these costs to be minimal.
