Short Statement: In the last ICR submission, the Commission estimated eight responses annually. Since the prior submission, the Commission estimates that one issuer files approximately two notifications, together with offering circulars, on Form 1-E with the Commission annually. Based on a new estimate of two annual responses, the Commission estimates that the new total annual reporting burden estimate would be 200 hours per year in the aggregate, a decrease of 600 hours. The decrease of 600 hours is based on a changed estimate of the number of filings issuers make on Form 1-E (from eight to two filings). The Commission previously estimated that the current annual cost burden to be $352,000, which is adjusted to a new estimate of $100,000. The change of $252,000 in the annual cost burden is based on a decreased estimate of the number of filings issuers make on Form 1-E (from eight to two filings) and an increased estimate of the cost of outside services used in preparing and filing Form 1-E.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $20,000,000
