Abstract: Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) gives the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) authority to prescribe rules and regulations, as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors, with respect to the solicitation of proxies. Section 14(a) is intended to help ensure that shareholders have sufficient information upon which to make their voting decisions or decisions to authorize a proxy. The Commission promulgated Regulation 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-1 through 14a-21) and Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101) to regulate the solicitation of proxies or consents. Those rules and schedule set forth the requirements for the dissemination, content, and filing of proxy or consent solicitation materials in connection with annual or other meetings of holders of a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Short Statement: The decrease in total annual burden hours of 44,040 hours is due to a decrease in the estimated number of annual responses (from 6,369 to 6,043).
