Abstract: The Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) was designed to prevent misrepresentation, deceit and other fraudulent acts and practices in the sale of securities. Section 5 of the Securities Act requires that a registration statement be filed before any security is publicly offered, and that the registration statement be effective before any security is sold. Section 7 of the Securities Act and Schedule A outlines the information that must be contained in a registration statement. Section 7 gives the Commission the authority to vary such disclosure for various classes of issuers and securities. The Commission has used its statutory authority to develop a number of specialized registration statement forms that tailor disclosure requirements based on the type of offering, issuer, or other parameters, thereby eliminating burdensome and unnecessary requirements while maintaining investor protection. Form S-3 (17 CFR 239.13) is a short-form securities registration statement that is available to issuers that meet certain registrant and transaction eligibility requirements under the form. The purpose of the information collection is to provide disclosure of material financial and other information with which investors may evaluate the merits of securities in order to make investment decisions.

Short Statement: The decrease in burden hours of 18,717 hours is due to a decrease in the estimated number of annual Form S-3 responses (from 1,651 to 1,467). The increase in cost burden of $74,690,251 is due to an increase in the Commission’s estimate of the cost to issuers of outside professionals (from $400 per hour to $600 per hour).
