Rule 701 requires issuers conducting employee benefit plan offerings in excess of $5 million in reliance on the rule to provide the employee covered by the plan with risk and financial statement disclosures.
The Commission requests an emergency extension for the information collection because the amendment to Rule 701 implements Section 507 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, which was enacted on May 24, 2018. Section 507 directs the Commission to adopt the amendment to Rule 701 no later than 60 days after the date of enactment. The Commission for good cause found that notice and comment were unnecessary because the amendment merely conforms the information collection to the requirement of the Act and does not involve the exercise of discretion by the Commission.

The amendment adopted in Release No. 33-10520 will reduce the burdens for non-reporting issuers who rely on Rule 701 to make exempt compensatory offerings in the $5 million to $10 million range over a 12-month period. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the proposed amendment to Rule 701 would result in a net decrease of 400 burden hours and a net decrease in the cost burden of ($480,000) for the services of outside professionals.
