The Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), generally requires that a registration
statement be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) disclosing prescribed information before securities
may be offered for sale to the public. While the Securities Act
already authorizes the Commission to exempt certain securities and
transactions from registration, Section 401 of the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act added Section 3(b)(2) to the Securities Act,
creating a new exemption from registration. The Commission has
adopted various rules (collectively, “Regulation A”) establishing a
limited offering exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act. Regulation A provides an exemption for
offerings that satisfy certain conditions, such as filing an
offering statement with the Commission, limiting the dollar amount
of the offering and, in certain instances, filing ongoing reports
with the Commission. Form 1-SA is filed with the Commission under
Regulation A. The purpose of Forms 1-SA is to better inform the
public about companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under
Regulation A. Form 1-SA provides semiannual, interim financial
statements and information about the issuer’s liquidity, capital
resources and operations after the issuer’s second fiscal quarter.
The Commission will use very little of the collected information
itself, except on an occasional basis in the enforcement of federal
securities laws.
The increase of 65,372 burden
hours and the increase in cost burden of $7,234,130 displayed in
the above table are due to two adjustments: the first is an
increase of 409 in the number of annual responses, calculated by
the difference between 464, the average number of respondents
annually filing Forms 1-SA over the last three-year period ended
December 31, 2024, and 55, the average number of respondents
annually filing the Forms 1-SA over the previously reported three
year period; and the second is the Commission’s change in the
estimated cost burden per hour for outside professionals from $398
per hour to $600 per hour. Accordingly, based on our estimates, we
calculate the burden hours adjustment increase to be 65,372,
calculated, as follows: 85% x 188.04 hours per response x 409
responses. We also calculate the cost burden adjustment increase to
be $7,234,130, calculated based on the difference between the
estimated annual cost burden of $7,852,550, as reported in the
table under Question 13 above, assuming 464 responses per year, and
the annual cost burden of $618,420, as reported in our supporting
statement for the previous reporting period, assuming 55 responses
per year.
