The amendments in Release No.
33-10771 (IC-33836) will modify the registration, communications,
and offering processes for registered closed-end funds and business
development companies. The collections of information related to
Form 10-K will tailor the disclosure framework for business
development companies in light of the amendments to the offering
rules applicable to them. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that
the amendments related to Form 10-K will result in a net increase
of 218 burden hours and a net increase in the cost burden of
$29,200 for the services of outside professionals. These changes
are due to amendments that will require business development
companies to provide additional disclosure on Form 10-K.
