Short Statement:
As explained in further detail in Items 12 and 13 above, the proposed rules in Release No. 33-9723 are mandated by Section 955 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The changes in burden of 14C relate to enhanced disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K to provide transparency to shareholders, if action is to be taken with respect to the election of directors, about whether employees or directors are permitted to engage in transactions that mitigate or avoid the incentive alignment associated with equity ownership. The change in burden of Schedule 14C corresponds to these proposed disclosure requirements. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the amendments to Schedule 14C will result in a net increase of 1,280 burden hours and a net increase in the cost burden of $170,700 for the services of outside professionals.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$100,000
