Extension: Rule 19a–1. OMB Control No. 3235–0216, SEC File No. 270–240. Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Section 19(a) (15 U.S.C. 80a–19(a)) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ‘‘Act’’) 1 makes it unlawful for any registered investment company to pay any dividend or similar distribution from any source other than the company’s net income, unless the payment is accompanied by a written statement to the company’s shareholders which adequately discloses the sources of the payment. Section 19(a) authorizes the Commission to prescribe the form of such statement by rule. Rule 19a–1 (17 CFR 270.19a–1) under the Act, entitled ‘‘Written Statement to Accompany Dividend Payments by Management Companies,’’ sets forth specific requirements for the information that must be included in statements made pursuant to section 19(a) by or on behalf of management companies.2 The rule requires that the statement indicate what portions of distribution payments are made from net income, net profits from the sale of a security or other property (‘‘capital gains’’) and paid-in capital. When any part of the payment is made from capital gains, rule 19a–1 also requires that the statement disclose certain other information relating to the appreciation or depreciation of portfolio securities. If an estimated portion is subsequently determined to be significantly inaccurate, a correction must be made on a statement made pursuant to section 19(a) or in the first report to shareholders following the discovery of the inaccuracy. The purpose of rule 19a–1 is to afford fund shareholders adequate disclosure of the sources from which distribution payments are made. The rule is intended to prevent shareholders from confusing income dividends with distributions made from capital sources. 1 15 U.S.C. 80a. 4(3) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–4(3)) defines ‘‘management company’’ as ‘‘any investment company other than a face amount certificate company or a unit investment trust.’’ 2 Section 1 United States Postal Service Notice of Filing Functionally Equivalent Agreement with Royal Mail Group, Ltd., October 1, 2014 (Notice). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Oct 07, 2014 Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Absent rule 19a–1, shareholders might receive a false impression of fund gains. Based on a review of filings made with the Commission, the staff estimates that approximately 11,066 series of registered investment companies that are management companies may be subject to rule 19a–1 each year,3 and that each portfolio on average mails two statements per year to meet the requirements of the rule.4 The staff further estimates that the time needed to make the determinations required by the rule and to prepare the statement required under the rule is approximately 1 hour per statement. The total annual burden for all portfolios therefore is estimated to be approximately 22,132 burden hours.5 The staff estimates that approximately one-third of the total annual burden (7,377 hours) would be incurred by a paralegal with an average hourly wage rate of approximately $199 per hour,6 and approximately two-thirds of the annual burden (14,755 hours) would be incurred by a compliance clerk with an average hourly wage rate of $64 per hour.7 The staff therefore estimates that the aggregate annual cost of complying with the paperwork requirements of the rule is approximately $2,412,343 ((7,377 hours × $199 = $1,468,023) + (14,755 hours × $64 = $944,320)). To comply with state law, many investment companies already must distinguish the different sources from which a shareholder distribution is paid and disclose that information to shareholders. Thus, many investment companies would be required to distinguish the sources of shareholder 3 This estimate is based on statistics compiled by Commission staff as of May 31, 2014. The number of management investment company portfolios that make distributions for which compliance with rule 19a–1 is required depends on a wide range of factors and can vary greatly across years. Therefore, the calculation of estimated burden hours is based on the total number of management investment company portfolios, each of which may be subject to rule 19a–1. 4 A few portfolios make monthly distributions from sources other than net income, so the rule requires them to send out a statement 12 times a year. Other portfolios never make such distributions. 5 This estimate is based on the following calculation: 11,066 management investment company portfolios × 2 statements per year × 1 hour per statement = 22,132 burden hours. 6 Hourly rates are derived from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (‘‘SIFMA’’), Management and Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013, modified to account for an 1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits, and overhead. 7 Hourly rates are derived from SIFMA’s Office Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013, modified to account for an 1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 2.93 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.
