The Interactive Data collection of
information requires issuers filing registration statements under
the Securities Act of 1933 and reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 to submit specified financial information to
the Commission using eXtensible Business Reporting
Language("XBRL"). The purpose of the interactive data requirement
is to make financial information easier for investors to analyze
and assist issuers in automating regulatory filings and business
information processing.
The amendments adopted in
Release No. 33-10514 will require the use of the Inline XBRL format
for the currently required exhibit-only submission of operating
company financial statement information using the machine-readable
(i.e., interactive) eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)
format in Interactive Data Files. These amendments will require
operating companies, on a phased in basis, to embed part of the
Interactive Data File within an HTML document using Inline XBRL and
include the rest in an exhibit to that document. The primary
purpose of these amendments is to improve the usefulness and
quality of financial statement disclosure, and, over time, to
decrease the cost of preparing this information for submission to
the Commission. In addition, the amendments eliminated the
requirement for operating companies to post Interactive Data Files
on their websites. Also, the amendments will make and have made
certain other changes not affecting operating companies. For
purposes of the PRA’s aggregate average yearly burden, we estimate
that the amendments affecting the Interactive Data collection of
information will result in a decrease of 53,715 burden hours and an
increase of $106,640 in the cost of the services of outside
professionals. The lower hourly burden is due to less time being
needed to prepare an Interactive Data File in Inline XBRL format
than in exhibit-only format and the elimination of the website
posting requirement. The higher professional cost burden is due to
additional assistance or software needed to prepare an Interactive
Data File in Inline XBRL format as compared to exhibit-only
format.
