(3)To the extent necessary to compute fees, an annual or periodic report of the value of such federal covered securities offered or sold in this State;
(4)A notice setting forth the name and address of the issuer, and the name and the dollar amount of the securities issued and the number of the securities to be issued;

(b)With respect to any security that is a federal covered security under subparagraph (D) of paragraph (4) of subsection (b) of section 18 of the "Securities Act of 1933," 15 U.S.C. s.77r(b)(4)(D), the bureau chief, by rule or otherwise, may require the issuer to file a notice on SEC Form D, 17 C.F.R. s.239.500, or a successor form, and a consent to service of process signed by the issuer no later than 15 days after the first sale of that federal covered security in this State, together with the fee required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (12) of subsection (b) of section 3 of P.L.1967, c.93 (C.49:3-50);
