Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.12b-1) permits a mutual fund to bear expenses associated with the distribution of its shares, provided that the fund complies with certain requirements. Rule 12b-1 requires, among other things, that the fund adopt a written plan describing all material aspects of the proposed financing of distribution ("rule 12b-1 plan"). The rule 12b-1 plan must be approved by the fund's board of directors, including the independent directors (as described in the rule), and, if the rule 12b-1 plan is being adopted after public offering of the fund's voting securities, by a majority of the fund's outstanding voting securities.

The estimated annual time burden for funds with rule 12b-1 plans increased by 1,700 hours, from 157,675 hours to 159,375 hours. This is due to an increase in the number of mutual fund families that have at least one fund that charges rule 12b-1 fees. The estimated total annual cost burden increased $6,522, from $90,000 to $96,522. The increase in cost is due to inflation.
