Rule 34b-1 deems to be materially
misleading any investment company sales literature required to be
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Section 24(b)
of the Investment Company Act that includes performance data,
unless the sales literature also includes the appropriate uniformly
computed data and the legend disclosure required in investment
company advertisements by rule 482 under the Securities
Act.
The net decrease in burden
hours for complying with rule 34b-1 is attributable to an increase
in the number of responses from 12,433 to 13,685, combined with a
decrease in the estimated burden hours per response from 2.41 to
2.0 hours, resulting in a net decrease of approximately 2,594
hours. The Commission continues to estimate that there is no
external cost burden associated with this rule.
