Regulation A provides an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for certain
limited securities offerings by issuers who do not otherwise file
reports with the Commission. Form 1-A is an offering statement
filed under Regulation A.
As explained in further detail
in Items 12 and 13 above, the change in burden for Form 1 A
corresponds to an estimated increase in the existing paperwork
burden of the form under the proposed amendments by requiring
additional information in Form 1-A, predominantly with respect to
Tier 2 offerings. The approximately 250 issuers relying on proposed
Regulation A and filing Form 1-A annually would increase the
current paperwork burden under Form 1-A from 18,240 hours to
187,500 hours, an increase of 169,260 hours. The proposed
amendments to Regulation A would not change the one administrative
burden hour associated with reviewing Regulation A, but the
approximately 220 additional issuers relying on Regulation A after
the proposed amendments would increase the current annual
administrative paperwork burden associated with reviewing
Regulation A from 30 hours to 250 hours, an increase of 220 hours.
Due to the proposed amendments, there would be increase of 126,840
hours and an increase of $16,912,200 in cost burden.
