NOTE: A 15-day public notice was issued on 2/28/2014 describing a change to the burden estimate. Specifically, the average burden hours per response for XML filings (implementation burden only) increased from 104 hours to 196 hours. Commission staff will provide the published version of the 15-day notice to the OMB desk officer when it publishes in the Federal Register.
