SEC Seeks Public Comment on Regulatory Reform

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act includes provisions that require the SEC to undertake various initiatives, including rulemaking and studies touching on many areas of financial regulation.  The SEC has set up a website where members of the public are invited to submit their views, even before official comment periods may be opened. While the Commission has responsibilities under other provisions of the Act, the list covers major regulatory topics and other more immediate matters. The Commission may add additional email addresses in the future.
