Form 10-Q is filed by issuers of
securities to satisfy their quarterly reporting obligations
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
If adopted, the proposed
amendments would require registrants to provide updated disclosure
relating to previously disclosed cybersecurity incidents and to
require disclosure, to the extent known to management, when a
series of previously undisclosed individually immaterial
cybersecurity incidents has become material in the aggregate. The
Commission estimates that the amendments would result in an
increase in the paperwork burden of affected entities. For purposes
of the PRA, the Commission estimates that, for Form 10-Q, the
proposed amendments would result in an increase of 2,250 burden
hours and $300,000 for the services of outside professionals.
