The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management Budget for extension and approval. Regulation FD—Other Disclosure Materials requires public disclosure of material information from issuers of publicly traded securities so that investors have current information upon which to base investment decisions. The purpose of the regulation is to require that: (1) When an issuer intentionally discloses material information, it do so through public disclosure, not selective disclosure; and (2) whenever an issuer learns that it has made a non-intentional material selective disclosure, the issuer make prompt public disclosure of that information. Regulation FD was adopted due to a concern that the practice of selective disclosure leads to a loss of investor confidence in the integrity of our capital markets. We estimate that approximately 13,000 issuers make Regulation FD disclosures approximately five times a year for a total of 58,000 submissions annually, not including an estimated 7,000 issuers who file Form 8–K to comply with under Regulation FD. We estimate that it takes approximately 5 hours per response (58,000 × 5 hours) for a total burden of 290,000 hours annually. The filer prepares 25% of the 290,000 E:\FR\FM\21DEN1.SGM 21DEN1
