Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Notices 42567 

8We assume that the independent directors of the 

remaining two-thirds of those funds will choose not 

to have counsel, or will rely on counsel who has 

not recently represented the fund’s management 

organizations or control persons. In both 

circumstances, it would not be necessary for the 

fund’s independent directors to make a 

determination about their counsel’s independence. 

9The estimated hourly wages used in this PRA 

analysis were derived from the Securities Industry 

and Financial Markets Association’s Reports on 

Management and Professional Earnings in the 

Securities Industry (2013) (modified to account for 

an 1800-hour work year and multiplied by 5.35 to 

account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits 

and overhead) (adjusted for inflation), and Office 

Salaries in the Securities Industry (2013) (modified 

to account for an 1800-hour work year and 

multiplied by 2.93 to account for bonuses, firm size, 

employee benefits and overhead) (adjusted for 

inflation). 

10 (518 × $292/hour) + (259 × $66/hour) = 

$168,350. 

independent legal counsel.8 We 

estimate that each of these 1,036 funds 

would be required to spend, on average, 

0.75 hours annually to comply with the 

recordkeeping requirement associated 

with this determination, for a total 

annual burden of approximately 777 

hours. Based on this estimate, the total 

annual cost for all funds’ compliance 

with this rule is approximately 

$168,350. To calculate this total annual 

cost, the Commission staff assumed that 

approximately two-thirds of the total 

annual hour burden (518 hours) would 

be incurred by a compliance manager 

with an average hourly wage rate of 

$292 per hour,9 and one-third of the 

annual hour burden (259 hours) would 

be incurred by compliance clerk with an 

average hourly wage rate of $66 per 

hour.10

These burden hour estimates are 

based upon the Commission staff’s 

experience and discussions with the 

fund industry. The estimates of average 

burden hours are made solely for the 

purposes of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. These estimates are not derived 

from a comprehensive or even a 

representative survey or study of the 

costs of Commission rules. 

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 burdens of 

the collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burdens 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
