Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission may consider potential technical changes to the EDGAR filer access and filer account management processes (“potential access changes”) that include the addition of individual user account credentials as well as a filer management tool on EDGAR through which filers would manage their EDGAR accounts. If the potential access changes are implemented, the Commission anticipates that it would adopt amendments to certain Commission rules and forms to reflect the potential access changes, including Form ID. Separately, the Commission may consider potential amendments to Form ID that would result in a more uniform and secure process for EDGAR access by requiring applicants that already have an identification number (CIK) and no longer have access to EDGAR to re-apply by submitting a new Form ID in order to regain access to EDGAR. If the potential access changes and potential Form ID amendments are adopted, we estimate that the number of Form ID filings would increase approximately by 8,836 annually and that the number of hours per response would increase 0.15 hours to prepare Form ID. These changes would result in an increase of 8,836 filings and 9,925 annual burden hours. The current estimate of the annual number of Form ID filings for filers without CIKs (48,089 filings) and filers with CIKs but who have not filed electronically on EDGAR (404 filings) would stay the same. The total estimate of 57,329 filings and 17,199 annual burden hours incorporates the filings made by filers without identification numbers, filers with identification numbers that seek to obtain access codes for purposes of submitting electronic filings on EDGAR, and filers with identification numbers who are seeking to reaccess EDGAR.
