Short Statement: The estimated annual burden hours associated with the Form N-PORT collection of information has increased from 1,839,903 hours to 1,929,237 hours (an increase of 89,334 hours). In addition, the cost burden cost would increase from $654,658,288 to $690,927,892 (an increase of $36,269,604). The annual external cost burden would increase from $113,858,133 to $136,290,893 (an increase of $22,432,760). Changes in burden for Form N-PORT would result from the final amendments to that form. The amendments would add a new reporting item regarding the 80% investment policy that a fund would adopt in compliance with rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 [17 CFR 270.35d-1]. There is a new Form N-PORT reporting item that requires a fund subject to the 80% investment policy requirement to indicate, with respect to each portfolio investment, whether the investment is included in the fund’s calculation of assets in the fund’s 80% basket.
