Form 10-K is filed by issuers of
securities to satisfy their annual report obligations pursuant to
Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
The proposed amendments in
Release No. 33-10425 would modernize and simplify certain
disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K, while continuing to
provide all material information to investors. The amendments are
also intended to improve the readability and navigability of
disclosure documents and discourage repetition and disclosure of
immaterial information. We anticipate that the amendments would, in
the aggregate, reduce the burdens and costs to registrants
associated with compliance with the federal securities disclosure
regime. These estimated burden and cost reductions are expected to
result primarily from proposed amendments to the Commission’s
disclosure requirements that would allow registrants, in some
circumstances, to eliminate the earliest year of the MD&A
discussion; permit registrants, in certain circumstances, to omit,
without a confidential treatment request, schedules and attachments
that are not material and confidential information in material
contracts exhibits that is both (i) not material and (ii)
competitively harmful if publicly disclosed; and simplify and
modernize executive officer, Section 16(a) compliance and corporate
governance disclosure requirements. For purposes of the PRA, we
estimate that the proposed amendments to Form 10-K would result in
a net decrease of 23,325 burden hours and a net decrease in the
cost burden of $3,715,600 for the services of outside
professionals.
