Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘Act’’) [44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.], the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 498 Under the Securities Act of
1933, Profiles for Certain Open-End
Management Investment Companies
Rule 498 of the Securities Act of 1933
[17 CFR 230.498] permits open-end
management investment companies (or
a series of an investment company
organized as a series company, which
offers one or more series of shares
representing interests in separate
investment portfolios) (‘‘funds’’) to
provide investors with a ‘‘profile’’ that
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
contains a summary of key information
about a fund, including the fund’s
investment objectives, strategies, risks
and performance, and fees, in a
standardized format. The profile
provides investors the option of buying
fund shares based on the information in
the profile or reviewing the fund’s
prospectus before making an investment
decision. Investors purchasing shares
based on a profile receive the fund’s
prospectus prior to or with confirmation
of their investment in the fund.
Consistent with the filing requirement
of a fund’s prospectus, a profile must be
filed with the Commission thirty days
before first use. Such a filing allows the
Commission to review the profile for
compliance with Rule 498. Compliance
with the rule’s standardized format
assists investors in evaluating and
comparing funds.
It is estimated that approximately 1
initial profile and 252 updated profiles
are filed with the Commission annually.
The Commission estimates that each
profile contains on average 1.25
portfolios, resulting in 1.25 portfolios
filed annually on initial profiles and 315
portfolios filed annually on updated
profiles. The number of burden hours
for preparing and filing an initial profile
per portfolio is 25. The number of
burden hours for preparing and filing an
updated profile per portfolio is 10. The
total burden hours for preparing and
filing initial and updated profiles under
Rule 498 is 3,181, representing a
decrease of 1,269 hours from the prior
estimate of 4,450. The reduction in
burden hours is attributable to the lower
number of profiles actually prepared
and filed as compared to the previous
estimates.
The estimates of average burden hours
are made solely for the purposes of the
Act and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative
survey or study of the cost of
Commission rules and forms.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
