Open-end management investment companies (âfundsâ) are required to submit to the Commission information included in their registration statements, or information included in or amended by post-effective amendments thereto, in response to Items 2, 3, and 4 (ârisk/return summary informationâ) of Form N-1A (OMB Control No. 3235-0307) in interactive data format and to post it on their Web sites, if any, in interactive data form. In addition, funds are required to submit an interactive data file to the Commission for any form of prospectus filed pursuant to rule 497(c) or (e) under the Securities Act of 1933 that includes risk/return summary information that varies from the registration statement and to post the interactive data file on their Web sites, if any. The Commission has proposed amendments to require use of the âInline XBRLâ format for the submission of mutual fund risk/return summary information using the machine-readable (i.e., interactive) eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format in interactive data files, and to eliminate the aforementioned website posting requirements.
Currently, the approved annual hour burden for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements is 172,323 hours. The proposed new estimate for complying with the Mutual Fund Interactive Data requirements after accounting for the Inline Tagging of XBRL Data proposal is 167,682 hours, representing a decrease of 4,641 hours. The decrease in hourly burden is due to an increase in the number of funds in the proposal, the Commissionâs increased estimate in the proposal of the number of funds that would provide risk/return summary information as interactive data in additional filings submitted pursuant to rule 485(b) or rule 497 annually, and the proposalâs estimate that the proposed Inline XBRL requirements (including the elimination of website posting requirements) for mutual fund risk/return summary would result in an overall decrease in burden hours per filing.
Currently, the approved total cost burden for software and/or consulting services is approximately $9,355,713. The proposed new total cost burden is $9,970,621, representing an increase of $614,908. This increase is due to an increase in the number of funds in the proposal and an increase in estimated software costs in the proposal.
