Short Statement:
The amendments proposed in Release No. 33-9052 would require additional disclosure regarding compensation policies and corporate governance, and facilitate shareholder communications relating to voting and investment decisions. The increase in the burden associated with Form N-1A is necessary in order to enhance the transparency of director and nominee qualifications, board leadership structure, and the boardÂ’s oversight of risk. The proposal will result in an increase of 4,354 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of $5,224,500 for services of outside professionals.
