    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend approval for collecting information under Rule 15c1-5. This rule requires broker-dealers with control relationships to their issuers to notify customers in writing when selling or buying securities. The SEC estimates that around 181 broker-dealers must comply annually, spending a total of about 1,810 hours. People interested in commenting on this information collection can do so within 30 days on the reginfo.gov website.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a notice about a proposed rule change by Nasdaq PHLX LLC. The change allows for a "Virtual Trading Crowd" to operate when their physical trading floor is unavailable. This proposal, influenced by COVID-19, aims to ensure that trading can continue in a virtual environment similar to in-person open outcry trading. It includes measures for communication and security to maintain the integrity and smooth operation of the trading system.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine a group of people who love to trade things with each other. They usually meet in a special place to do this, but because of something like a big sneeze that's happening everywhere, they can't meet there anymore. So, they want to meet online to trade, just like a video game chat, and they're making sure it's safe and fair for everyone who joins in.
