In interactive data format, financial
statement information could be
downloaded directly into spreadsheets
and analyzed in a variety of ways using
commercial off-the-shelf software. The
specified financial information already
is and will continue to be required to be
submitted to the Commission in
traditional format under existing
requirements. The purpose of the
interactive data requirement is to make
financial information easier for
investors to analyze and assist issuers in
automating regulatory filings and
business information processing. We
estimate that 10,229 respondents per
year will each submit an average of 4.5
reponses per year for an estimated total
of 46,031 responses. We further estimate
an internal burden of 59 hours per
response for a total annual internal
burden of 2,715,829 hours (59 hours per
response × 46,031 responses).
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 imposed by 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.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
‘‘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 30e–1 (17 CFR 270.30e–1) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’) generally requires a
registered investment company (‘‘fund’’)
to transmit to its shareholders, at least
semi-annually, reports containing the
information that is required to be
included in such reports by the fund’s
registration statement form under the
Investment Company Act. The purpose
of the collection of information required
by rule 30e–1 is to provide fund
shareholders with current information
about the operation of their funds in
accordance with Section 30 of the
Investment Company Act.
Approximately 2,490 funds, with a
total of approximately 10,750 portfolios,
respond to rule 30e–1 annually. Based
on conversations with fund
representatives, we estimate that it takes
approximately 84 hours to comply with
the collection of information associated
with rule 30e–1 per portfolio. This time
is spent, for example, preparing,
reviewing, and certifying the reports.
Accordingly, we calculate the total
estimated annual internal burden of
responding to rule 30e–1 to be
approximately 903,000 hours (84 hours
× 10,750 portfolios). In addition to the
burden hours, based on conversations
with fund representatives, we estimate
that the total cost burden of compliance
with the information collection
requirements of rule 30e–1 is
approximately $31,061 per portfolio.
This includes, for example, the costs for
funds to prepare, print, and mail the
reports. Accordingly, we calculate the
total external cost burden associated
with rule 30e–1 to be approximately
$333,905,750.
Estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act and are not
derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
The collection of information under rule
30e–1 is mandatory. The information
provided under rule 30e–1 will not be
kept confidential. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

Rule 30e-1, SEC File No. 270-21, OMB Control No. 3235-0025.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
