Adopting Release 33-10997/34-93285/IC-34396 Emergency Request
The Commission did not originally propose amendments to Form SF-1 and Form SF-3. After considering public comments submitted in response to a request for comment in the proposing release, the Commission included amendments to these forms in the adopting release. See Attachments.
The rule amendments will modernize filing fee disclosure and payment methods. The amendments will revise most fee-bearing forms, schedules, statements, and related rules to require each filing fee table and accompanying disclosure to include all required information for fee calculation in a structured format using Inline XBRL. The amendments also will add options for fee payment via ACH and debit and credit cards and eliminate options for fee payment via paper checks and money orders. Finally, the amendments also will make other fee-related revisions. The Commission anticipates that the amendments will, in the aggregate, increase the burdens and costs on affected entities due to changes in fee calculation disclosure requirements and the new requirement to structure fee-related information. For purposes of the PRA, the Commission estimates that, for Form SF-1, the amendments will result in an increase of one burden hour and an increase in the cost burden of $400 for the services of outside professionals. The changes in burden also reflect the Commissionâs revision and update of burden estimates for all information collections under Form SF-1âs OMB control number 3235-0707 (whether or not associated with rulemaking changes), and the Commission requested public comment on all those information collection burden estimates for this OMB control number. All of the changes in burden stem from the rulemaking rather than an update of burden estimates not associated with the rulemaking.
