Form D is a notice of sales filed by
issuers making an offering of securities in reliance on an
exemption under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(5) of the Securities
Act of 1933.
In Release No. 33-9415, the
Commission adopted new Rule 506(c) of Regulation D to implement
Section 201(a)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. In
the release, the Commission also adopted an amendment to Form D to
add a separate check box for issuers to indicate whether they are
claiming an exemption under Rule 506(c). While we estimate that,
under the amendment to Form D, the burden for responding to the
collection of information in Form D will be substantially the same
as before the amendment to Form D, we believe that the adoption of
Rule 506(c), which removes the prohibition on the use of general
solicitation or general advertising for a subset of Rule 506
offerings provided that certain conditions are met, will increase
the number of Form D filings that are made with the Commission.
Accordingly, we estimate that the rule and form amendments will
result in approximately 3,637 new burden hours of in-house
personnel time and an increase of $4,364,400 in costs for the
services of outside professionals.
