Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decreases of in 222 burden hours and $72,544,500 cost burden are due to adjustments. These decreases reflect a reduction in the estimated number of annual Regulation FD responses from the previous estimate of 58,000 to the current estimate of 19,274. The assumptions underlying the previous estimate had not been adjusted since the Commission adopted Regulation FD in 2000. Since 2000, there has been a significant decrease in the estimated number of issuers subject to Regulation FD (from 13,000 to 7,196). There also has been an increase in the estimated number of Regulation FD responses made annually on Form 8-K (from 7,000 to 16,706). Because these responses are included in the information collection inventory for Form 8-K, we have excluded them from the number of Regulation FD responses, consistent with our past approach. The burden hour and cost burden adjustments also reflect a change in our expectation regarding how issuers will complete their responses to Regulation FD. Previously, we had estimated that 25% of the burden would be carried by an issuer’s internal professionals and 75% of the burden would be carried by outside professionals. Because the information collection inventory for Regulation FD only reflects those responses not filed on Form 8-K, we believe it is more appropriate to assume that 75% of the burden is carried by the issuer’s internal professionals and 25% of the burden is carried by outside professionals. As such, we have adjusted the burden hour and cost burden calculations accordingly. Finally, the decrease in cost burden is offset, in part, by the Commission’s increase of its estimated cost burden per hour for outside professionals from $400 per hour to $600 per hour.
