Short Statement:
The amendments adopted in Release No. 33-10532 address disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded as a result of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, International Financial Reporting Standards, or changes in the information environment. The purpose of the rule amendments is to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors, while simplifying and updating disclosure requirements, without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. We anticipate that the amendments will decrease the burdens and costs for registrants to prepare and review filings for many forms and will increase the burden and costs for a limited number of forms. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the amendments to Form 1-A will result in a net increase of 56 burden hours. We have not provided an estimate for professional cost changes because we have assumed that the changes will only impact the internal efforts to respond to the collection of information.
