Form N–CSR, SEC File No. 270–512, OMB
Control No. 3235–0570
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM
17NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 221 / Friday, November 17, 2017 / Notices
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Form N–CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and
274.128) is a combined reporting form
used by registered management
investment companies (‘‘funds’’) to file
certified shareholder reports under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15
U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’) and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). Specifically,
Form N–CSR is to be used for reports
under section 30(b)(2) of the Investment
Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–29(b)(2))
and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and
78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2–1(a)
under the Investment Company Act (17
CFR 270.30b2–1(a)). Reports on Form
N–CSR are to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) no later than 10 days
after the transmission to stockholders of
any report that is required to be
transmitted to stockholders under rule
30e–1 under the Investment Company
Act (17 CFR 270.30e–1). The
information filed with the Commission
permits the verification of compliance
with securities law requirements and
assures the public availability and
dissemination of the information.
The current total annual burden hour
inventory for Form N–CSR is 172,899
hours.1 The hour burden estimates for
preparing and filing reports on Form N–
CSR are based on the Commission’s
experience with the contents of the
form. The number of burden hours may
vary depending on, among other things,
the complexity of the filing and whether
preparation of the reports is performed
by internal staff or outside counsel.
The Commission’s new estimate of
burden hours that will be imposed by
Form N–CSR is as follows:

HOUR BURDEN FOR REPORTS ON
FORM N–CSR—Continued
Total annual hour burden for
all funds ...............................
4 174,085
In total, the Commission estimates it
will take 174,085 burden hours per year
for all funds to prepare and file reports
on Form N–CSR. Based on the
Commission’s estimate of 174,085
burden hours and an estimated wage
rate of approximately $324 per hour,5
the total internal annual cost to
registrants of the hour burden for
complying with Form N–CSR
requirements is approximately $56
million.6
Estimates of average burden hours
and costs are made solely for 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. Compliance with the information
collection requirements of Form N–CSR
is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information will not be
kept confidential. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to
2 This estimate is based on the following
calculation: 11,856 management investment
companies = (1,594 exchange-traded funds—eight
organized as unit investment trusts + 750 closedend funds + 481 money market funds + 9,039 other
mutual funds).
3 This estimate is based on the following
calculation: 750 hours = (750 closed-end funds × 1
hour per closed-end fund).
4 This estimate is based on the following
calculation: 174,085 hours = 750 hours + (11,856
funds × 14.62 burden hours per fund per year).
5 The Commission’s estimate concerning the wage
rate is based on salary information for the securities
industry compiled by the Securities Industry and
Financial Markets Association. The estimated wage
figure is based on published rates for compliance
attorneys and senior programmers, modified to
account for an 1,800-hour work year and inflation;
multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size,
employee benefits, and overhead; and adjusted to
account for the effects of inflation, yielding effective
hourly rates of $340 and $308, respectively. See
Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association, Report on Management & Professional
Earnings in the Securities Industry 2013. We
estimate that compliance attorneys and senior
programmers would divide their time equally,
yielding an estimated hourly wage rate of $324.
($340 per hour for compliance attorneys + $308 per
hour for senior programmers) ÷ 2 = $324 per hour.
6 174,085 hours × $324 per hour = $56,403,540
per year.

ways to minimize the burden of the

respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or

Form N-CSR, SEC File No. 270-512, OMB Control No. 3235-0570
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information
[[Page 54423]]
summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this existing
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Form N-CSR (17 CFR 249.331 and 274.128) is a combined reporting
form used by registered management investment companies (``funds'') to
file certified shareholder reports under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) (``Investment Company Act'') and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange
Act''). Specifically, Form N-CSR is to be used for reports under
section 30(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a-29(b)(2))
and section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) and
78o(d)), filed pursuant to rule 30b2-1(a) under the Investment Company
Act (17 CFR 270.30b2-1(a)). Reports on Form N-CSR are to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') no later than
10 days after the transmission to stockholders of any report that is
required to be transmitted to stockholders under rule 30e-1 under the
Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.30e-1). The information filed with
the Commission permits the verification of compliance with securities
law requirements and assures the public availability and dissemination
of the information.
The current total annual burden hour inventory for Form N-CSR is
172,899 hours.\1\ The hour burden estimates for preparing and filing
reports on Form N-CSR are based on the Commission's experience with the
contents of the form. The number of burden hours may vary depending on,
among other things, the complexity of the filing and whether
preparation of the reports is performed by internal staff or outside
counsel.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ This estimate is based on the following calculations:
172,899 hours = (11,856 management investment companies x 14.52 hour
burden per fund per year) + 750 additional hours for closed-end
funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission's new estimate of burden hours that will be imposed
by Form N-CSR is as follows:
Hour Burden for Reports on Form N-CSR

Number of funds............................................. \2\ 11,856

Total annual hour burden for all funds.................... \4\
174,085
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In total, the Commission estimates it will take 174,085 burden
hours per year for all funds to prepare and file reports on Form N-CSR.
Based on the Commission's estimate of 174,085 burden hours and an
estimated wage rate of approximately $324 per hour,\5\ the total
internal annual cost to registrants of the hour burden for complying
with Form N-CSR requirements is approximately $56 million.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: 11,856
management investment companies = (1,594 exchange-traded funds--
eight organized as unit investment trusts + 750 closed-end funds +
481 money market funds + 9,039 other mutual funds).
\3\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: 750
hours = (750 closed-end funds x 1 hour per closed-end fund).
\4\ This estimate is based on the following calculation: 174,085
hours = 750 hours + (11,856 funds x 14.62 burden hours per fund per
year).
\5\ The Commission's estimate concerning the wage rate is based
on salary information for the securities industry compiled by the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. The estimated
wage figure is based on published rates for compliance attorneys and
senior programmers, modified to account for an 1,800-hour work year
and inflation; multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size,
employee benefits, and overhead; and adjusted to account for the
effects of inflation, yielding effective hourly rates of $340 and
$308, respectively. See Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association, Report on Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry 2013. We estimate that compliance attorneys and
senior programmers would divide their time equally, yielding an
estimated hourly wage rate of $324. ($340 per hour for compliance
attorneys + $308 per hour for senior programmers) / 2 = $324 per
hour.
\6\ 174,085 hours x $324 per hour = $56,403,540 per year.
