The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to extend the collection of information related to Rules 6a-1 and 6a-2, and Form 1 under the Securities Exchange Act. Rule 6a-1 requires national securities exchanges to file a Form 1 for initial registration or exemption based on limited trading volume. Rule 6a-2 mandates that registered or exempt exchanges update their Form 1 when there are significant changes or periodically, which incurs an annual burden of around 8,030 hours for all respondents. Public comments on this information collection request can be submitted by March 31, 2025, via the identified web address or email.
Simple Explanation
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to keep checking and updating some forms to make sure that the places where people buy and sell stocks are following the rules. They are asking for people’s thoughts about this until the end of March 2025.
