The burden of compliance with rule 6c–7, in connection with the registrants obtaining from a purchaser, prior to or at the time of purchase, a signed document acknowledging the restrictions on redeemability imposed by Texas law, is estimated to be approximately 3 minutes of professional time per response for each of approximately 2,400 purchasers annually (at an estimated $67 per hour),1 for a total annual burden of 120 hours (at a total annual cost of $8,040). The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules or forms. The Commission does not include in the estimate of average burden hours the time preparing registration statements and sales literature disclosure regarding the restrictions on redeemability imposed by Texas law.

filing. Based on the Commission's experience with disclosure documents 
generally, the Commission continues to believe that this estimate is 
appropriate. The estimated annual burden of complying with the rule's

submitted multiple filings.
