The Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Securities Act”) was enacted in order to provide full and fair
disclosure with respect to publicly offered securities and to
prevent fraud in connection with such offerings. The Securities Act
carries out this purpose by requiring the filing of a registration
statement in connection with public distributions of securities by
issuers and their control persons. Schedule A of the Securities Act
specifies the general types of information that must be disclosed
in registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“Commission”). The Commission has authority, under
Section 19 of the Securities Act, to promulgate rules to carry out
the provisions of the Securities Act. Form S-1 (17 CFR 239.11) is a
general registration form used to register the public offering of
securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”).
Form S-1 may be used for the registration under the Securities Act
of securities of all registrants for which no other form is
authorized or prescribed, except that this Form shall not be used
for securities of foreign governments or political subdivisions
thereof or asset-backed securities. The information collected is
intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to
investors in connection with securities offerings.
The increase in burden hours of
3,883 hours and the increase in cost burden of $88,534,373 are due
to an increase in the number of annual Forms S-1 responses (from
898 responses to 908 responses). The increase in cost burden also
is due to the Commission’s increase in the estimated cost of
outside professionals (from $400 per hour to $600 per hour).
