Short Statement:
The Commission estimates that the hour burden associated with Form N-PX will increase from 47,984 hours to 380,741 hours (an increase of 332,757 hours). The changes in burden hours and cost estimates are due primarily to the Commission’s estimates of the increased time burden that result from the amendments to Form N-PX, the new website disclosure requirements, and the new requirement that institutional investment managers file reports on Form N-PX. The Commission also estimates an increase in the external costs of Form N-PX from $17,657,958 to $36,141,445 (an increase of $18,483,487).
