Terms of Clearance:
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) approves this information collection for a period of 3 years based on an understanding that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will comply with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) for all future information collection submissions. In particular, the SEC will submit for OIRA review all new or revised collections associated with a proposed rule at the proposed rule stage of rulemaking. A failure to do so is a violation of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 USC 3507). In addition, OIRA approves this collection based on an express agreement between OIRA and SEC that the agencies will meet in the near future to discuss a proactive and constructive approach to improving the ICR process and inter-agency communication.

Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The amendments in Release No. 33-10513 expand the number of registrants that qualify as smaller reporting companies and thereby are eligible to rely on the scaled disclosure requirements. Under the amended definition, smaller reporting companies generally include registrants with either (1) a public float of less than $250 million or (2) revenues of less than $100 million in the previous year and either no public float or public float of less than $700 million. The release also revises Rule 3-05(b)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-X to align the revenue threshold in that rule with the new revenue threshold in the definition of smaller reporting company. We anticipate that the amendments will decrease the burdens and costs for registrants to prepare and review filings that include scaled disclosure requirements for smaller reporting companies or for which acquired companies financial statements are required under Rule 3-05(b)(2)(iv). For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the amendments to Form S-1 will result in a net decrease of 145 burden hours and a net decrease in the cost burden of ($174,000) for the services of outside professionals.
