A minimum of 10 percent of those vehicles would be battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As our Preferred Alternative, the Postal Service proposes in this Draft SEIS to modify the current ROD in three primary ways: (1) substantially increase the minimum BEV commitment to 62 percent, (2) reduce the total number of vehicles proposed for purchase at this time to 106,480, purchased over six years, and (3) include a mix of both NGDV and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) vehicles.

(‘‘Paperwork Reduction Act’’), the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. Like most issuers of securities, when an investment company (‘‘fund’’) 1 offers 1 ‘‘Investment company’’ refers to both investment companies registered under the VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Jun 29, 2023 Jkt 259001 its shares to the public, its promotional efforts become subject to the advertising restrictions of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77) (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). In recognition of the particular problems faced by funds that continually offer securities and wish to advertise their securities, the Commission has previously adopted advertising safe harbor rules. The most important of these is rule 482 (17 CFR 230.482) under the Securities Act, which, under certain circumstances, permits funds to advertise investment performance data, as well as other information. Rule 482 advertisements are deemed to be ‘‘prospectuses’’ under Section 10(b) of the Securities Act (15 U.S.C. 77j(b)). Rule 482 contains certain requirements regarding the disclosure that funds are required to provide in qualifying advertisements. These requirements are intended to encourage the provision to investors of information that is balanced and informative, particularly in the area of investment performance. For example, a fund is required to include disclosure advising investors to consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, and other information described in the fund’s prospectus, and highlighting the availability of the fund’s prospectus. In addition, rule 482 advertisements that include performance data of open-end funds or insurance company separate accounts offering variable annuity contracts are required to include certain standardized performance information, information about any sales loads or other nonrecurring fees, and a legend warning that past performance does not guarantee future results. Such funds including performance information in rule 482 advertisements are also required to make available to investors month-end performance figures via website disclosure or by a toll-free telephone number, and to disclose the availability of the month-end performance data in the advertisement. The rule also sets forth requirements regarding the prominence of certain disclosures, requirements regarding advertisements that make tax representations, requirements regarding advertisements used prior to the effectiveness of the fund’s registration statement, requirements regarding the timeliness of performance data. In addition, rule 482(b) describes the information that is required to be included in an advertisement, including a cautionary statement under rule Investment Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) and business development companies. PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 482(b)(4) disclosing the particular risks associated with investing in a money market fund. On October 26, 2022, the Commission adopted rule and form amendments that modernize the requirements for annual and semi-annual shareholder reports provided by open-end management investment companies.2 The Commission also adopted amendments to the advertising rules for registered investment companies and business development companies to promote more transparent and balanced statements about investment costs. The advertising rule amendments require that investment company advertisements providing fee and expense figures include: (1) the maximum amount of any sales load or any other nonrecurring fee; and (2) the total annual expenses without any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangement. Under the amendments to rule 482, investment company fee and expense presentations in advertisements must include timely and prominent information about a fund’s maximum sales load (or any other nonrecurring fee) and gross total annual expenses, based on the methods of computation that the company’s Investment Company Act or Securities Act registration statement form prescribes for a prospectus. Rule 482 advertisements must be filed with the Commission or, in the alternative, with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (‘‘FINRA’’).3 This information collection differs from many other federal information collections that are primarily for the use and benefit of the collecting agency. Rule 482 contains requirements that are intended to encourage the provision to investors of information that is balanced and informative, particularly in the area of investment performance. The Commission is concerned that in the absence of such provisions fund investors may be misled by deceptive rule 482 advertisements and may rely on less-than-adequate information when determining in which funds they should invest money. As a result, the 2 Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements, Investment Company Act Release No. 34731 (Oct. 26, 2022), 87 FR 72758 (Nov. 25, 2022) (the ‘‘Adopting Release’’). 3 See note to rule 482(h) under the Securities Act, which states that ‘‘these advertisements, unless filed with [FINRA], are required to be filed in accordance with the requirements of § 230.497.’’ See also rule 24b–3 under the Investment Company Act (17 CFR 270.24b–3), which provides that any sales material, including rule 482 advertisements, shall be deemed filed with the Commission for purposes of Section 24(b) of the Investment Company Act upon filing with FINRA.
