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.
