Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices 84001 

1 This estimate is based on the following 

calculations: (3 hours × $425/hour for an in house 

compliance attorney = $1,275 plus (1 hour × $386/ 

hour for a senior programmer = $386, for a 

combined total of 4 hours at total time costs of 

$1,661. The estimates concerning the wage rates for 

an in house compliance attorney and a senior 

programmer time are 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 in-house compliance attorneys 

and senior programmers, modified to account for a 

1,800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied 

by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee 

benefits, and overhead. See Securities Industry and 

Financial Markets Association, Report on 

Management & Professional Earnings in the 

Securities Industry 2013. 

2 This estimate is based on the following 

calculations: 66 reports filed per year × 4 hours per 

report = approximately 264 total annual burden 

hours. 66 reports filed per year × $1,661 in costs 

per report = $109,626 total annual costs. 

information reported on Form N–RN 

regards events for certain open-end 

funds under which a fund’s holdings in 

assets that are highly liquid investments 

fall below the fund’s highly liquid 

investment minimum defined in rule 

22e–4 for more than 7 consecutive 

calendar days. The third category of 

information reported on Form N–RN 

regards information about a fund’s 

breaches of the VaR test under rule 18f– 

4. A report on Form N–RN is required 

to be filed, as applicable, within one 

business day of the occurrence of one or 

more of these events. In addition, a fund 

is in certain cases required to file a 

second Form N–RN when it is no longer 

in breach of the applicable limit. 

Based on historical filing data and 

projected estimates of the annual 

number of VAR-based filings, the staff 

estimates that the Commission will 

receive roughly 66 reports per year on 

Form N–RN on average When filing a 

report on Form N–RN, staff estimates 

that a fund will spend on average 

approximately 3 hours of a in house 

compliance attorney’s time and 1 hour 

of a senior programmer time to prepare, 

review, and submit Form NRN at a total 

time cost of $1,661.1 Accordingly, in the 

aggregate, staff estimates that 

compliance with rule 30b1–10 and 

Form N–LIQUID will result in a total 

annual burden of approximately 264 

burden hours and total annual time 

costs of approximately $109,626.2

Compliance with rule 30b1–10 is 

mandatory for all funds. Responses to 

the disclosure requirements will be kept 

confidential. The estimate of average 

burden hours is made solely for the 

purposes of the PRA. The estimate is not 

derived from a comprehensive or even 

a representative survey or study of the 

costs of Commission rules. Complying 

with this collection of information 

requirement is necessary to enable the 

Commission to receive information on 

fund liquidity events more uniformly 

and efficiently, and to enhance the 

Commission’s oversight of funds when 

significant liquidity events occur and its 

ability to respond to market events. 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 control 

number.
