Short Statement:
The total burden hours for all respondents has increased from the currently approved 132,599 hours per year to 268,457 hours per year. This increase is mainly due to the following factors: (1) the initial burden associated with advisers preparing clearly written, meaningful, narrative brochures and brochure supplements containing current disclosure of the business practices, conflicts of interest and background of the investment adviser and its advisory personnel, (2) the burden associated with advisers expanding their discussion of how the adviser addresses certain conflicts of interest and (3) the burden associated with related amendments to rules 203-1 and 204-1. The change in the number of responses is an adjustment that had nothing to do with the rulemaking amendments.
