Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The amendments modernize and simplify disclosure requirements under Items 101(a), 101(c), 103, and 105 of Regulation S-K. The modernization of Items 101, 103, and 105 are intended to elicit improved disclosures, tailored to reflect registrants’ particular circumstances, which should improve disclosures for investors and simplify compliance for registrants. Particularly, the amendments increase the flexibility of registrants to tailor their disclosures; eliminates or reduces disclosure about matters that are not material to an understanding of the business or to a registrant’s legal proceedings; and encourages risk factor disclosure that is shorter and concerns only material risks. The Commission expects the final amendments will reduce the paperwork burden for all registrants. For purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Commission estimates that the final amendments will result in a net decrease of 53 burden hours and a net decrease of $64,000 in the cost burden for Form SF-3.
