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

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The proposed amendments to Rule 3-05 and related amendments (e.g., to Rule 1-02(w)), among other things, would reduce a registrant’s paperwork burden by: revising the significance tests and thresholds provided in Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-05 to improve their application and to assist registrants in making more meaningful significance determinations; revising the scaling requirements to reduce from three to two the maximum number of years of required Rule 3-05 Financial Statements; permitting Rule 3-05 Financial Statements to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS-IASB”) in appropriate circumstances, thus permitting registrants to reconcile their financial statements to the basis of accounting they are already using and not requiring additional one-time reconciliations to U.S. GAAP; permitting the omission of Rule 3-05 Financial Statements from Securities Act registration statements and proxy statements once the acquired business is reflected in filed post-acquisition audited financial statements of the registrant for a complete fiscal year; and permitting registrants to use pro forma financial information for significance testing under appropriate circumstances, thereby simplifying the application of the rules and more accurately determining the significance of an acquired business. The proposed amendments related to Rule 3-14, among other things, would align the requirements under Rules 3-05 and 3-14 where appropriate; clarify the determination of significance and the definition of “real estate operation” under Rule 3-14; establish an explicit requirement for interim income statements; and provide special provisions for blind pool offerings. As a result of these effects, we expect that the impact of the rule proposal would be a reduction in the paperwork burden of affected entities. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that, for Form S-1, the proposed amendments would result in a reduction of 1,950 burden hours and a reduction in the cost burden of $2,340,000 for the services of outside professionals.
