Form S-1 under the Securities Act is used by issuers who are not eligible to use other forms to register offering of their securities.
The Commission requests an emergency extension for the following information collection because the amendments to these information collections were required to make them consistent with the provisions of the newly enacted FAST Act. The Commission, for good cause, found that notice and comment were unnecessary because the amendments merely conform the information collections to the requirements of the FAST Act, and also found that there was good cause for the amendments to take effect on January 19, 2016, due to the Congressional request to adopt the amendments within 45 days of the enactment of the FAST Act.
In Release No. 33-10003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted interim final rule and form amendments to implement Sections 71003 and 84001 of the FAST Act. These amendments permit emerging growth companies to omit certain historical period financial information in Form S-1 and allow smaller reporting companies to use forward incorporation by reference on Form S-1. The decrease of 68,773 in burden hours and the decrease in cost burden of $82,527,996 is due to the reduced disclosure requirements for emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies.
