extending the comment period for a 

release proposing amendments to its 

rules under the Securities Act of 1933

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) 

that would require registrants to provide 

certain climate-related information in 

their registration statements and annual 

reports. The comment period for the 

release was originally scheduled to 

close on May 20, 2022. The new 

comment period will end on June 17, 

2022. This action will allow interested 

persons additional time to analyze the 

issues and prepare their comments, 

which would benefit the Commission in 

its consideration of final rules.

proposed rule published April 11, 2022 

(87 FR 21334) is extended. Comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission has requested comment on 

a release proposing amendments to its 

rules under the Securities Act and 

Exchange Act that would require 

registrants to provide certain climaterelated information in their registration 

statements and annual reports. The 

proposed rules would require 

information about a registrant’s climaterelated risks that are reasonably likely to 

have a material impact on its business, 

results of operations, or financial 

condition. The required information 

about climate-related risks would also 

include disclosure of a registrant’s 

greenhouse gas emissions, which have 

become a commonly used metric to 

assess a registrant’s exposure to such 

risks. In addition, under the proposed 

rules, certain climate-related financial 

metrics would be required in a 

registrant’s audited financial statements. 

The comment period for the release 

was originally scheduled to close on 

May 20, 2022. The Commission believes 

that providing the public additional 

time to consider and comment on the 

matters addressed in the release would 

benefit the Commission in its 

consideration of final rules. Therefore, 

the Commission is extending the 

comment period for Release Nos. 33– 

11042; 34–94478, ‘‘The Enhancement 

and Standardization of Climate-Related 

Disclosures for Investors,’’ until June 17, 

2022. 

By the Commission. 

Dated: May 9, 2022.

Assistant Secretary.
