Short Statement: The rule amendments in Release No. 33-9108 would allow an issuer or other soliciting person to include explanatory materials with the Notice. The increase in the burden associated with Rule 20a-1 for investment companies reflects burden estimates for complying with the existing notice and access rules as well as estimates for the increase necessary in order to permit a soliciting person to include materials to improve the notice and access model for furnishing proxy materials to shareholders. We estimate the revised burden estimates along with the rule amendments will result in an increase of 15,312 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of $796,250 for services of outside professionals. These estimates are the same as those submitted with the proposed amendments, as no changes were deemed warranted. For a more detailed discussion, please refer to the supporting statement.
