total annual burden of 1,385,934 hours.

Form S–8 is a primary registration

statement used by qualified registrants

to register securities issuers in

connection with employee benefit

plans. Form S–8 provides verification of

compliance with securities law

requirements and assures the public

availability and dissemination of such

information. The likely respondents will

be companies. The information must be

filed with the Commission on occasion.

Form S–8 is a public document. All

information provided is mandatory.

Approximately 1,660 issuers file Form

S–8 at an estimated 24 hours per

response for a total annual burden of
