Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in annual burden hours of 343,462 hours (from 560,988 hours to 217,526 hours) and the decrease in annual cost burden of $284,059,155 (from $675,605,379 to $391,546,224) are due to a change in our estimate of the number of annual Form S 4 responses (from 588 to 228 responses). The decrease in cost burden is partially offset by an increase in the Commission’s estimate for the hourly cost of outside professionals (from $400 per hour to $600 per hour).
