Form 10–K (17 CFR 249.310) is filed by issuers of securities to satisfy their annual reporting obligations under to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (“Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)). The information provided by Form 10–K is intended to ensure the adequacy of information available to investors and securities markets about an issuer. Form 10–K takes approximately 2,249.366 hours per response to prepare and is filed by approximately 8,292 respondents. We estimate that 75% of the approximately hours per response (1,687.025 hours) is prepared by the company for an annual reporting burden of 13,988,811 hours (1,687.025 hours per response × 8,292 responses).

An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid control number.
