The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is inviting public comments on its information collection process under Rules 6a-1 and 6a-2 and Form 1 as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. These rules require new national securities exchanges to submit applications and updates to ensure compliance with the Securities Exchange Act. The SEC estimates a total annual burden of approximately 8,030 hours on these exchanges for their filings. Public comments on this matter are requested by February 11, 2025, and should focus on the necessity, accuracy, and efficiency of this information collection.
Simple Explanation
The SEC wants to check if new stock exchanges are following the rules by filling out certain forms, and they’re asking people to say if this is a good idea or if it needs any changes. They think it takes a lot of time to fill out these forms, and they want to hear what people think by February 11, 2025.
