SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
17 CFR Part 200
[Release No. 33-11337; 34-101867]
Commission's Organization and Program Management Regulations
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') is adopting technical amendments to update information
relating to its regional offices listed in the Commission's
Organization and Program Management regulations.
DATES: Effective December 16, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tiffany Moseley, Senior Special
Counsel, (202) 551-5100, Office of the General Counsel, Securities and
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-9150.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Commission is amending the information in its Organization and
Program Management regulations at 17 CFR 200.11 (Head Quarters Office--
Regional Office Relationships) to reflect the closure of the Salt Lake
Regional Office on October 26, 2024 and to update the addresses of
regional offices that have moved.
II. Administrative Law Matters
The Commission finds, in accordance with the Administrative
Procedure Act (``APA''), that the amendments to its rules to update the
information for its regional offices relate solely to the agency's
organization, procedure, or practice. Accordingly, the APA's provisions
regarding notice of rulemaking and opportunity for public comment do
not apply.\1\ The Commission also finds that because these amendments
do not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency
parties there is good cause not to provide advance publication of the
amendments under the APA and therefore the amendments are effective on
December 16, 2024.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
\2\ 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the same reasons, the provisions of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act \3\ and the provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act \4\ do not apply. These amendments also do
not contain any collection of information requirements as defined by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.\5\ Further, because the amendments
impose no new burdens on private parties, the Commission does not
believe that the amendments will have any impact on competition for
purposes of section 23(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Exchange Act'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(C) (the term ``rule'' does not include ``any
rule of agency organization, procedure, or practice that does not
substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency
parties'').
\4\ 5 U.S.C. 601(2) (provisions only applicable when notice and
comment required by the APA).
\5\ 5 CFR 1320.3.
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78w(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Statutory Authority
These technical amendments are adopted pursuant to statutory
authority granted to the Commission under section 19(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933 and section 23(a) of the Exchange Act.
List of Subjects in 17 CFR Part 200
