Rule 482 (17 CFR 230.482) applies to an advertisement or other sales material (advertisement) with respect to securities of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or a business development company, that is selling or proposing to sell its securities pursuant to a registration statement that has been filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"). Rule 482 contains certain requirements about disclosures provided in qualifying advertisements, and these requirements are intended to encourage the provision to investors of information that is balanced and informative to allow investors to make better informed decisions. Rule 482 advertisements must be filed with either the Commission or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

Name of Law: Securities Act of 1933
The proposed amendments to rule 482 would increase the estimated number of responses and, accordingly, increase the estimated number of burden hours. The proposed amendments would newly allow registered non-variable annuity issuers and intermediaries to rely on rule 482 for advertisements related to these products. The estimated number of responses would increase from 41,953 to 43,394 (an increase of 1,441 responses). The estimated number of burden hours would increase from 577,896 to 592,306 (an increase of 14,410 hours). There is no annual external cost burden attributed to rule 482.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
