The proposals are intended to
modernize, simplify and enhance certain financial disclosure
requirements. The proposals are also intended to eliminate
duplicative disclosures and modernize and enhance MD&A
disclosure for the benefit of investors, while simplifying
compliance efforts for registrants. We anticipate that the
proposals would, in the aggregate, reduce the burdens and costs to
registrants associated with compliance with the federal securities
disclosure regime. These estimated burden and cost reductions are
expected to result primarily from proposals to (i) eliminate
disclosure of five years of selected financial data; (ii) eliminate
disclosure of two years of supplementary quarterly financial data;
and (iii) revise the interim MD&A requirement to allow for more
flexibility. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the
proposals to Form S-4 will result in a net decrease of 956 burden
hours and a net decrease in the cost burden of $1,146,400 for the
services of outside professionals.
