Form 11-K (17 CFR 249.311) is the annual report designed for use by employee stock purchase, savings and similar plans to comply with the reporting requirements under Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. 78o(d)). Section 15(d) establishes a periodic reporting obligation for every issuer of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”)(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Form 11-K provides employees of an issuer with financial information so that they can assess the performance of the stock plan or investment vehicle. The information collected must be filed with the Commission and is publicly available. Form 11-K takes approximately 30 hours per response and is filed by 1,761 respondents for total of 52,830 burden hours (30 hours per response × 1,761 responses).

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.
