Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the estimated burden of rule 17f-5 by 164.5 burden hours results from changes in the estimated number of registrants. The estimated number of new registrants with the Commission in a calendar year that might need to comply with rule 17f-5 dropped from 62 to approximately 55 while the estimated number of firms subject to rule 17-5 as foreign custody managers remained at 15. Commission staff anticipates that the number of existing funds that change their foreign custody managers is negligible and, therefore, the estimated compliance burden for funds under rule 17f-5 falls primarily on new registrants.
