Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G are used
by persons to report their ownership of more than five percent of a
class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The rules adopted in Release
No. 33-9136 will allow shareholders to more fully exercise their
rights to nominate directors. The increase in the number of
Schedule 13G filings is based on the Commissions expectation that
some shareholders will aggregate their holdings for purposes of
meeting the eligibility thresholds in Rule 14a-11. The Commission
anticipates that some groups of shareholders will exceed the 5%
threshold and, therefore, be required to file a Schedule 13G. The
rules will result in an increase of 87 burden hours and an increase
in the cost burden of $104,160 for services of outside
professionals.
