Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The proposed rule amendments would: limit the types of securities offered, permit the use of certain special purpose vehicles, and require disclosure about co-issuers when such vehicles are used; permit the use of generic and Regulation Crowdfunding-specific solicitation of interest materials and the filing of such materials; increase the offering limit and investment limit; and harmonize bad actor disqualification provisions with Regulation A and Regulation D. As a result of these proposed amendments, we estimate that the impact would be an increase in the number of filers and paperwork burden of affected entities. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that, for Form C, the proposed amendments would result in an increase of 55 Form C filings, an increase of 6,450 burden hours and $858,657 for the services of outside professionals.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $103,479,690
