Short Statement: The proposal would provide reporting companies with the option to file interim reports on a semiannual basis in lieu of filing interim reports on a quarterly basis. The proposal would provide greater flexibility for reporting companies to select the interim reporting frequency that best serves the company and its investors. Reporting companies that elect to report semiannually would file interim reports on proposed new Form 10-S in lieu of filing quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. For purposes of the PRA with respect to Form 10-Q, the proposal would result in a decrease of 484,459.06 burden hours and a decrease of $96,981,795 on the cost burden for the services of outside professionals.
