27602 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 94 / Monday, May 17, 2010 / Notices 

Applicants for orders under the 

Advisers Act can include registered 

investment advisers, affiliated persons 

of registered investment advisers, and 

entities seeking to avoid investment 

adviser status, among others. 

Commission staff estimates that it 

receives approximately 9 applications 

per year submitted under rule 0–4 of the 

Act. Although each application 

typically is submitted on behalf of 

multiple applicants, the applicants in 

the vast majority of cases are related 

entities and are treated as a single 

respondent for purposes of this analysis. 

Most of the work of preparing an 

application is performed by outside 

counsel and, therefore, imposes no 

hourly burden on respondents. The cost 

outside counsel charges applicants 

depends on the complexity of the issues 

covered by the application and the time 

required. Based on conversations with 

applicants and attorneys, the cost ranges 

from approximately $7,000 for 

preparing a well-precedented, routine 

application to approximately $80,000 to 

prepare a complex or novel application. 

We estimate that the Commission 

receives 2 of the most time-consuming 

applications annually, 4 applications of 

medium difficulty, and 3 of the least 

difficult applications subject to rule 0– 

4. This distribution gives a total 

estimated annual cost burden to 

applicants of filing all applications of 

$355,000 [(2 × $80,000) + (4 × $43,500) 

+ (3 × $7,000)]. The estimates of annual 

burden hours and costs are made solely 

for the 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. 

The requirements of this collection of 

information are required to obtain or 

retain benefits. Responses 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 control number. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication.
