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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As explained in further detail in Items 12 and 13 above, the change in burden for Form 1 A corresponds to an estimated increase in the existing paperwork burden of the form under the proposed amendments by requiring additional information in Form 1-A, predominantly with respect to Tier 2 offerings. The approximately 250 issuers relying on proposed Regulation A and filing Form 1-A annually would increase the current paperwork burden under Form 1-A from 18,240 hours to 187,500 hours, an increase of 169,260 hours. The proposed amendments to Regulation A would not change the one administrative burden hour associated with reviewing Regulation A, but the approximately 220 additional issuers relying on Regulation A after the proposed amendments would increase the current annual administrative paperwork burden associated with reviewing Regulation A from 30 hours to 250 hours, an increase of 220 hours. Due to the proposed amendments, there would be increase of 126,840 hours and an increase of $16,912,200 in cost burden.
