plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Regulation D sets forth rules
governing the limited offer and sale of
securities without Securities Act
registration. The purpose of Form D
notice is to collect empirical data,
which provides a continuing basis for
action by the Commission either in
terms of amending existing rules and
regulations or proposing new ones. In
addition, the Form D allows the
Commission to elicit information
necessary in assessing the effectiveness
of Regulation D and Section 4(6) as
capital-raising devices for all
businesses. Approximately 17,500
issuers file Form D and it takes an
estimated 4 hours to prepare for a total
annual burden of 70,000 hours. It is
estimated that 25% of the total burden
hours (17.500 reporting burden hours) is
prepared by the company.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
