Short Statement: The proposed amendments in Release No. 33-9117 would require that issuers file with the Commission a new notice of sales of asset-backed securities to be offered without registration in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act. This new collection of information would provide investors, regulators, and market participants with important transparency about privately issued structured finance products (that are sold in reliance on Rule 144A). The proposal would result in an increase of 358 burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of $429,600 for services of outside professionals. For a more detailed discussion, please refer to the supporting statement.
