Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The adopted amendments in Release No. 33-10322 would assist investors and other users by substantially easing the difficulties in retrieving exhibits included with filings. However, we anticipate the adopted amendments would increase the burdens and costs for registrants to prepare and review filings that contain hyperlinks to the exhibits attached to a filing. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the proposed amendments to Form 10-Q would result in a net increase of 51,541 burden hours and a net increase in the cost burden of $6,872,100 for the services of outside professionals.
