Short Statement:
Form 8 A is used to register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The adopted amendments add language to Form 8-A that allows the form to be used in certain circumstances by Regulation A issuers. Although we do not believe that the amendments result in a change to the existing paperwork burden per response, the estimated 5 issuers relying on amended Regulation A and filing a Form 8-A annually will increase the current paperwork burden under Form 8 A from 2,838 hours to 2,853 hours, an increase of 15 hours.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
