Abstract: Rule 17e-1 governs the receipt of compensation by a broker affiliated with a registered investment company in connection with securities transactions by the investment company. The rule requires the board of directors to establish and review procedures to ensure compliance with the rule, and imposes recordkeeping requirements concerning such procedures and transactions effected under the rule. The rule exempts certain transactions from some of the rule's procedural and recordkeeping requirements.

Short Statement: The estimated hourly burden associated with rule 17e-1 has decreased from 68,688 hours to 43,021 hours (a decrease of 25,667 hours). The decrease is due to a decrease in the number of funds estimated to use an affiliated broker and a decrease in the estimated average annual hourly burden per fund, partially offset by an increase in the estimated number of funds entering into a subadvisory agreement each year.
