Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: The Commission previously estimated an annual time burden of approximately 63,014 hours for voluntarily complying with rule 498. This number was based on the average burden over a three-year period, assumed that 80% of the estimated 8,752 portfolios in existence at the time would file a summary prospectus ("Summary Prospectus") and post the required disclosure documents on a website, and included an estimated one-time hour burden of 23 hours for initial compliance with the rule and an ongoing hour burden of 1.5 hours per portfolio. The Commission now estimates that approximately 6,250 portfolios are using a Summary Prospectus, resulting in annual internal hour burden of approximately 9,375 hours. The net decrease of 53,639 hours in annual time burden from the previous submission reflects the decrease in the estimated number of portfolios filing a Summary Prospectus, no longer reflects the hours associated with initially complying with the requirements of the rule, and is not based on the average burden over a three-year period. With respect to the total annual external cost burden, the Commission previously estimated a cost burden of approximately $106,200,000, or approximately $15,200 per portfolio. The Commission now estimates a total annual external cost burden of approximately $99,375,000, or approximately $15,900 per portfolio. This represents a net decrease in the total annual external cost burden of approximately $6,825,000, which is due to a decrease in the estimated number of portfolios using a Summary Prospectus, and an increase in the estimated external cost burden per portfolio to account for the effects of inflation since 2008.
