The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Rule 34b–1 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.34b–1) governs sales material that accompanies or follows the delivery of a statutory prospectus (‘‘sales literature’’). Rule 34b-1 deems to be materially misleading any investment company (‘‘fund’’) sales literature required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) by Section 24(b) of the Investment Company Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–24(b)) that includes performance data, unless the sales literature also includes the appropriate uniformly computed data and the legend disclosure required in investment company advertisements by rule 482 under the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.482). Requiring the inclusion of such standardized performance data in sales literature is designed to prevent misleading performance claims by funds and to enable investors to make meaningful comparisons among funds. The Commission estimates that on average approximately 208 respondents file 13,004 1 responses that include the information required by rule 34b–1 each year. The burden resulting from the collection of information requirements of rule 34b–1 is estimated to be 2 hours per response. The total hourly burden for rule 34b–1 is approximately 26,008 hours per year in the aggregate.2 The collection of information under rule 34b–1 is mandatory.
