The Commission had previously estimated the burden of complying with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act assuming that all filers of Form 20-F would file an auditor's attestation report. The filers that were included in the estimate but are no longer subject to the 404(b) requirement are sometimes referred to as "non-accelerated filers." We estimate that approximately 285 non-accelerated filers file Form 20-F annually. The current burden estimates for Form 20-F attribute 0.5 burden hours per issuer for filing the auditor attestation report, including the burden attributed to the related disclosure in the annual report, and do not include any burden attributed to the audit work. Consistent with the burden estimates for Form 20-F, that estimate is then split 25% and 75% between internal staff and external professionals for Form 20-F. The estimate assumes an hourly rate of $400 for external professionals. Accordingly, we are reducing the aggregate burden estimate by 36 hours of internal staff time and $42,750 for external professional services.
