Short Statement: The estimated total annual time burden for Rule 17f-2 has decreased from 81,300 hours to 61,236 hours. The estimated total annual cost has increased from $9.5 million to $11.4 million. The decrease in hours is attributable to a decrease in the number of funds relying on Rule 17f-2 and a decrease in the hour annually burden. The increase in the total annual cost burden is attributable to an increase in the review time that funds will now require from outside counsel.
