    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is requesting public comments on an existing rule, Rule 15a-6, which provides certain foreign broker-dealers with conditional exemptions from registering as a broker-dealer in the U.S. if they follow specific guidelines. This rule allows foreign broker-dealers to engage with U.S. institutional investors through registered U.S. broker-dealers. The SEC estimates that complying with this rule takes about 6,000 hours of work annually across approximately 2,000 broker-dealers, costing $1,000,000 in total. Public comments on the necessity and impact of this rule are welcomed until February 18, 2025.

They’re asking people what they think about these new rules to make things fair and clear.
