Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As explained in further detail in Items 1, 2, 12 and 13 above, changes in burden for Schedules 13D and 13G and Forms 3, 4 and 5 would result from the proposed amendments to Rules 13d-2(b), 13d-3, 13d-5 and Item 6 of Schedule 13D. These amendments were proposed in order to modernize the Commission’s beneficial ownership reporting rules. We estimate that the proposed amendments would increase the burdens associated with Regulation 13D-G and the burdens associated with Forms 3, 4 and 5. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that the proposed amendments would result in an increase of 2,197 annual responses for Form 3, an increase of 1,099 burden hours for Form 3 and an increase in the cost burden of $0 for the services of outside professionals for Form 3.
