Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated annual burden hours for Form N CEN has increased from 52,680.6 to 54,890.6 hours (an increase of 2,210 hours). This is due to amendments to Form N-CEN requiring a fund to identify whether it relied on rule 18f-4 during the reporting period and whether the fund has relied on certain provisions of the rule. We do not estimate a change in cost burden. These changes in burden also reflect the Commission’s revision and update of burden estimates for all information collections under this OMB control number (whether or not associated with rulemaking changes), and the Commission requested public comment on all information collection burden estimates for this OMB control number.
