Short Statement: For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the hourly burden associated with Form N-14 has decreased from 125,263 hours to 123,063 (a decrease of 2,200 hours). In addition, the cost burden associated with Form N-14 has decreased from $5,846,050 to $3,206,050 (a decrease of $2,640,000). The changes in burden hours and external cost burdens are due to the estimates of the time burden and external costs that will result from the amendments streamlining the financial reporting on Form N-14 relating to acquisitions involving investment companies. 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.
