The amendments in Release No.
33-9245 remove references to credit ratings and replace them with
alternate criteria. The decrease in the time burden associated with
Form S-1 is the result of an estimate that certain issuers
currently eligible to use Form S-1 will become eligible to use Form
S-3 and would instead file using Form S-3. As a result, the number
of respondents on Form S-1 is expected to decrease. We estimate
that the amendments would result in an annual time burden decrease
of 972 hours and a decrease in the cost burden of $1,166,792 for
services of outside professionals.
