Right to Financial Privacy

Section 21(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78u(h)(6)] 

requires that the Commission “compile an annual tabulation of the occasions on 

which the Commission used each separate subparagraph or clause of [Section 

21(h)(2)] or the provisions of the Right to Financial Privacy Act of 1978 [12 

U.S.C. 3401-22 (the RFPA)] to obtain access to financial records of a customer 

and include it in its annual report to the Congress.” During the fiscal year, the 

Commission issued one subpoena based upon Section 21(h)(2)(A)(ii), (iv) and 

(v) and two subpoenas based upon section 21(h)(2)(A)(iv), to obtain access to 

customer financial records. Set forth below are the number of occasions on 

which the Commission obtained customer records pursuant to the provisions of 

the RFPA: 

Section 1104 (Customer Authorizations) 5

Section 1105 (Administrative Subpoenas) 178

Section 1107 (Judicial Subpoenas) 10
