Short Statement:
The MS InfoPath software has been discontinued and the Commission has moved to a purely electronic Form TA-1 submission on EDGAR, resulting in the decrease in the start-up cost burden to respondents from $2,400 to $0. The total annual reporting burden has increased from 366 to 363 hours per year. Factors involved in this change include a decrease in the number of new applications for registration on Form TA-1, an increase in the number of amendments filed to Form TA-1 filings.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$100,000
