Short Statement:
As explained in further detail in Items 12 and 13 above, the increase in burden for Form SD corresponds to new disclosure requirements for resource extraction issuers. These disclosure requirements implement Section 13(q) by requiring resource extraction issuers to include in an annual report information about certain payments made to foreign governments and the U.S. federal government. As discussed above, the approximately 1,481 issuers required to file on Form SD annually would increase the current paperwork burden under Form SD from 311,437 hours to 601,315.2 hours, an increase of 289,878 hours. There would be a corresponding increase of $71,487,820 in cost burden.
