SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
17 CFR Part 200
[Release No. 33-11337; 34-101867]
Commission's Organization and Program Management Regulations
AGENCY:
Securities and Exchange Commission.
ACTION:
Final rule; technical amendments.
SUMMARY:
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") is adopting technical amendments to update information relating to its regional offices listed in the Commission's Organization and Program Management regulations.
DATES:
Effective December 16, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tiffany Moseley, Senior Special Counsel, (202) 551-5100, Office of the General Counsel, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-9150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Commission is amending the information in its Organization and Program Management regulations at 17 CFR 200.11 (Head Quarters Office-Regional Office Relationships) to reflect the closure of the Salt Lake Regional Office on October 26, 2024 and to update the addresses of regional offices that have moved.
II. Administrative Law Matters
The Commission finds, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA"), that the amendments to its rules to update the information for its regional offices relate solely to the agency's organization, procedure, or practice. Accordingly, the APA's provisions regarding notice of rulemaking and opportunity for public comment do not apply. 1 The Commission also finds that because these amendments do not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties there is good cause not to provide advance publication of the amendments under the APA and therefore the amendments are effective on December 16, 2024. 2
Footnotes:
1 ?5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
2 ?5 U.S.C. 553(d).
For the same reasons, the provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act? 3 and the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 4 do not apply. These amendments also do not contain any collection of information requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 5 Further, because the amendments impose no new burdens on private parties, the Commission does not believe that the amendments will have any impact on competition for purposes of section 23(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). 6
Footnotes:
3 ?5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C) (the term "rule" does not include "any rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice that does not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties").
4 ?5 U.S.C. 601(2) (provisions only applicable when notice and comment required by the APA).
5 ?5 CFR 1320.3.
6 ?15 U.S.C. 78w(a)(2).
III. Statutory Authority
These technical amendments are adopted pursuant to statutory authority granted to the Commission under section 19(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and section 23(a) of the Exchange Act.
List of Subjects in 17 CFR Part 200
