Short Statement: The staff's hour burden estimate for compliance with rule 31a-2 has decreased slightly, from 1,082,400 hours to 994,840 hours today, a net decrease of 87,560 hours. Similarly, the staffs estimate for the cost of compliance has been reduced slightly, from $175,000,000 to $158,270,000, a reduction of $16,730,000. Both of these changes are primarily due to a decrease in the number of active investment companies to which the rule applies, from approximately 4,920 registrants in 2006 to approximately 4,522 registrants in 2009.
