COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–102179; File Nos. PCAOB– 

2024–06, PCAOB–2024–07] 

Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board; Extension of Comment Period 

and Notice of Designation of Longer 

Period for Commission Action on 

Proposed Rules on Firm Reporting and 

Firm and Engagement Metrics and 

Related Amendments to PCAOB 

Standards 

January 14, 2025. 

On November 22, 2024, the Public 

Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(‘‘PCAOB’’) filed with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

proposed rules on (1) Firm Reporting 

(‘‘Firm Reporting’’) and (2) Firm and 

Engagement Metrics and Related 

Amendments to PCAOB Standards 

(‘‘Firm and Engagement Metrics’’). The 

proposed rules on Firm Reporting were 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on December 5, 2024,3 and the 

proposed rules on Firm and Engagement 

Metrics were published for comment in 

the Federal Register on December 11, 

2024.4 The Commission provided a 21- 

day public comment period for the 

proposed rules,5 which ended on 

December 26, 2024 for Firm Reporting 

and on January 2, 2025 for Firm and 

Engagement Metrics. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 6 provides 

that no later than 45 days after the date 

of the publication of notice of the filing 

of a proposed rule change, or within 

such longer period up to 90 days as the 

Commission may designate if it finds 

such longer period to be appropriate 

and publishes its reasons for so finding 

or as to which the self-regulatory 

organization 7 consents, the Commission 

shall either approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule change, or institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. The 45th day after 

publication of the notice for the 

proposed rules on Firm Reporting is 

January 19, 2025. The 45th day after 

publication of the notice for the 

proposed rules on Firm and Engagement 

Metrics is January 25, 2025. 

To provide additional time for public 

comment on the proposed rules and the 

issues raised therein, the Commission 

has determined to extend the comment 

periods for the proposed rules for an 

additional 21 days from the date of the 

issuance of this notice. To accommodate 

the longer comment periods and 

consideration of such comments, the 

Commission finds it appropriate to also 

extend the time periods within which 

the Commission must take action on the 

proposed rules for up to 45 days. 

Accordingly, the Commission is 

extending the public comment periods 

for the proposed rules on Firm 

Reporting and Firm and Engagement 

Metrics until February 4, 2025, and, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,8

extends the date by which the 

Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove, or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove, the 

proposed rules on Firm Reporting to 

March 5, 2025 (File No. PCAOB–2024– 

07) and the proposed rules on Firm and 

Engagement Metrics to March 11, 2025 

(File No. PCAOB–2024–06). Please note 

that comments previously received on 

the proposed rules will be considered 

together with comments submitted in 

response to this notice. Therefore, while 

commenters are free to submit 

additional comments at this time, they 

need not re-submit earlier comments. 

For the Commission, by the Office of the 

Chief Accountant, pursuant to delegated 

authority.9

Vanessa A. Countryman, 

Secretary.
