interpretations and positions the Commission has taken regarding
registration requirements under these rules. Responses to the

Estimated total annual responses: 76,860.
Estimated total number of hours of annual burden in fiscal year:
12,645.
Estimated average number of hours per response: 0.16.
The Commission welcomes comments concerning the accuracy of this
burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing the burden.
