Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The 19,488-hour decrease in estimated total annual burden-hours was due to a decrease in the estimated number of respondents. In 2012 SEC staff estimated the total annual burden-hours at approximately 258,000, calculated using an estimated average of 12 burden-hours for each covered entity and an estimated 21,500 covered entities (12 x 21,500 = 258,000). The current estimate of approximately 238,512 annual burden-hours results from using the same estimated average of 12 burden hours for each covered entity and a lower estimated number of respondents of 19,876 (12 x 19,876 = 238,512); and the result is a decrease of 19,488 in estimated total annual burden-hours (258,000 – 238,512 = 19,488).
