The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will reopen comment periods on 11 rulemaking releases put forward over the past year because of a glitch in its online comment system.
Comments on several of the agencies most controversial rule proposals, including climate-related disclosures and reporting cybersecurity breaches within four business days, might have been lost as the result of a “technical error,” the agency revealed in a press release Friday. The SEC said most of the comments affected were submitted in August, but the error is “known to have occurred as early as June 2021.”
