Schedule 14C is filed by issuers of
securities that are registered under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with a consent
solicitation.
The proposals in Release No.
33-9143 would enhance the disclosure that companies provide about
short-term borrowings in order to provide more useful disclosure to
shareholders about a company's liquidity and use of short-term
financing. The increase in the burden associated with Regulation
14C is necessary in order to provide shareholders with important
information about the financial condition of companies so that they
may make informed voting decisions. The proposal will result in an
annual increase of 765 burden hours and $102,000 for outside
professional services.
