Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The changes in burden of Form S-3 relate to enhanced disclosure requirements in Regulation AB relating to asset-backed securities. These disclosure requirements implement Section 945 of the Dodd-Frank Act by requiring issuers to "disclose the nature of the review" performed by an issuer, as required under Section 945. The Commission's rules also implement Section 945 by requiring issuers to disclose certain information regarding the assets underlying asset-backed securities. With respect to Form S-3 we estimate an increase of 6,968 burden hours and $8,361,000 annually.
