Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in the estimated time burden of rule 17f-5 by 499.5 hours primarily results from updated information from industry participants regarding annual hourly burdens per board and custodian and changes in the estimated number of respondents. As of year-end 2007, the number of new registrants required to respond under rule 17f-5 was 159. This number decreased to 135 as of year-end 2010. The staff anticipates that the number of existing funds that change their global custodians is negligible and, therefore, primarily new funds are required to make a response. We continue to estimate the number of reponses by custodians to be 60 for a total number responses of 195 (=135+60) to rule 17f-5.
