Short Statement: The change in burden for rule 34b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 has decreased by 27,189 hours from the previous total annual hour burden of 118,368 to 91,179 hours. The decrease in burden hours for complying with rule 34b-1 reflects that the previous estimate assumed entities would incur higher initial costs in implementing the 2022 amendments to rule 34b-1, and lower ongoing compliance costs after three years. There are no annual external costs associated with rule 34b-1.
