rule change, or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove the 

proposed rule change.5 On May 11, 

2021, the Commission instituted 

proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of 

the Exchange Act 6 to determine 

whether to approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule change.7 The Commission 

has not received any comment letters on 

the proposed rule change. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act 8

provides that, after initiating 

disapproval proceedings, the 

Commission shall issue an order 

approving or disapproving the proposed 

rule change not later than 180 days after 

the date of publication of notice of filing 

of the proposed rule change. The 

Commission may extend the period for 

issuing an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

by not more than 60 days if the 

Commission determines that a longer 

period is appropriate and publishes 

reasons for such determination. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

notice and comment in the Federal 

Register on February 10, 2021. August 

9, 2021 is 180 days from that date, and 

October 8, 2021 is 240 days from that 

date. 

The Commission finds it appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to issue an order approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

so that it has sufficient time to consider 

the proposed rule change. Accordingly, 

the Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,9

designates October 8, 2021 as the date 

by which the Commission shall either 

approve or disapprove the proposed 

rule change (File No. SR–CboeBZX– 

2021–014). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.10

Extension: 

Form 1–K 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Form 1–K (17 CFR 239.91) is used to 

file annual reports by Tier 2 issuers 

under Regulation A, an exemption from 

registration under the Securities Act of 

1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2 

issuers under Regulation A conducting 

offerings of up to $50 million within a 

12-month period are required to file 

Form 1–K. Form 1–K provides audited 

year-end financial statements and 

information about the issuer’s business 

operation, ownership, management, 

liquidity, capital resources and 

operations on an annual basis. In 

addition, Part I of the Form 1–K collects 

information on any offerings under 

Regulation A that have been terminated 

or completed unless it has been 

previous reported on Form 1–Z. The 

purpose of the Form 1–K is to better 

inform the public about companies that 

have conducted Tier 2 offerings under 

Regulation A. We estimate that 

approximately 36 issuers file Form 1–K 

annually. We estimate that Form 1–K 

takes approximately 600 hours to 

prepare. We estimate that 75% of the 

600 hours per response (450 hours) is 

prepared by the company for a total 

annual burden of 16,200 hours (450.0 

hours per response × 36 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether this proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

control number.
