Form 5 is an annual statement of
beneficial ownership used by officers, directors and ten percent
shareholders of companies with securities registered under Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
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 594 annual responses for Form 5, an
increase of 594 burden hours for Form 5 and an increase in the cost
burden of $0 for the services of outside professionals for Form
5.
