The rule amendments will
modernize filing fee disclosure and payment methods. The amendments
will revise most fee-bearing forms, schedules, statements, and
related rules to require each filing fee table and accompanying
disclosure to include all required information for fee calculation
in a structured format using Inline XBRL. The amendments also will
add options for fee payment via ACH and debit and credit cards and
eliminate options for fee payment via paper checks and money
orders. Finally, the amendments also will make other fee-related
revisions. The Commission anticipates that the amendments will, in
the aggregate, increase the burdens and costs on affected entities
due to changes in fee calculation disclosure requirements and the
new requirement to structure fee-related information. For purposes
of the PRA, the Commission estimates that the amendments to Form
N-2 will result in an increase of 17 internal burden hours, and an
increase of $20,625 in external costs for the services of outside
professionals to comply with the new filing fee exhibit disclosure
requirements. In the aggregate, we estimate that filers will spend
approximately 94,644 total burden hours, and $6,281,017 in total
external costs for the services of outside professionals to comply
with Form N-2’s disclosure requirements. These figures reflect the
Commission’s revision and update of burden estimates for Form N-2,
including the new burdens associated with the rulemaking
changes.
