Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated hourly burden associated with Form N CSR has increased from 179,443 hours to 181,167.5 hours (an increase of 1,724.5 hours). In addition, the annual external cost burden has increased from $3,129,984 to $5,199,584 (an increase of $2,069,600). This increase is primarily due to the staff’s estimates of the time costs that would result from our proposed amendments to Form N-CSR regarding hyperlinking.
