Resubmission of Comments and Reopening of Comment Periods for 
Several Rulemaking Releases Due to a Technological Error in Receiving 
Certain Comments

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rules; resubmission of comment letters; reopening of 
comment periods.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Due to a technological error, a number of public comments 
submitted through the Securities and Exchange Commission's 
(``Commission'' or ``SEC'') internet comment form were not received by 
the Commission. The majority of the affected comments were submitted in 
August 2022; however, the technological error is known to have occurred 
as early as June 2021. All commenters who submitted a public comment to 
one of the affected comment files through the internet comment form 
between June 2021 and August 2022 are advised to check the relevant 
comment file posted on SEC.gov to determine whether their comment was 
received and posted. If a comment has not been posted, commenters 
should resubmit that comment by following the instructions provided 
below. To further ensure that interested persons, including any 
affected commenters, have the opportunity to comment on the affected 
releases or to resubmit comments, the Commission is reopening the 
comment periods for certain Commission rulemaking releases listed 
herein (collectively, ``Rulemaking Releases'').

DATES: The comment periods for the Rulemaking Releases, published at 86 
FR 69802 (Dec. 8, 2021) (reopened at 87 FR 11659 (March 2, 2022)), 87 
FR 6652 (Feb. 4, 2022), 87 FR 7248 (Feb. 8, 2022), 87 FR 8443 (Feb. 15, 
2022), 87 FR 14950 (Mar. 16, 2022), 87 FR 16590 (Mar. 23, 2022), 87 FR 
16886 (Mar. 24, 2022) (reopened at 87 FR 29059 (May 12, 2022)), 87 FR 
21334 (Apr. 11, 2022) (reopened at 87 FR 29059 (May 12, 2022)), 87 FR 
29458 (May 13, 2022), 87 FR 36594 (June 17, 2022), 87 FR 36654 (June 
17, 2022), and 87 FR 37254 (June 22, 2022), are reopened until November 
1, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

Electronic Comments

     Use the Commission's internet comment form (https://www.sec.gov/rules/submitcomments.htm).
     Send an email to [email protected].

Paper Comments

     Send paper comments to Vanessa A. Countryman, Secretary, 
Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 
20549-1090.

Please include the file number for the specific action being commented 
upon. This file number should be included on the subject line if email 
is used. To help the Commission process and review your comments more 
efficiently, please use only one method of submission. The Commission 
will post all comments on the Commission's website (https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed.shtml). Comments are also available for 
website viewing and printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549 on official business days between 
the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Operating conditions may limit access 
to the Commission's Public Reference Room. All comments received will 
be posted without change. Persons submitting comments are cautioned 
that we do not redact or edit personal identifying information from 
comment submissions. You should submit only information that you wish 
to make available publicly.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: J. Matthew DeLesDernier, Deputy 
Secretary, Office of the Secretary, at (202) 551-5400, Securities and 
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-1090, or by 
email at [email protected]

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to a technological error, a number of 
public comments submitted through the Commission's internet form for 
the submission of comment letters \1\ were not received by the 
Commission and therefore were not posted in the relevant comment file. 
The majority of the affected comments were submitted in August 2022; 
however, a relatively small number of affected comments date from 
earlier months, and the technological error is known to have occurred 
as early as June 2021. The vast majority of the affected comments have 
now been received by the Commission and posted. To date, the staff's 
review of the available information indicates that the error only 
affected the comment files for the Rulemaking Releases and self-
regulatory organization (``SRO'') matters identified in the tables 
below.\2\ Commenters who submitted a public comment to any of these 
files through the internet comment form between June 2021 and August 
2022 are advised to check the relevant comment file posted on SEC.gov 
to determine whether their comment was received and posted. If a 
comment has not been posted, commenters should resubmit that comment. 
Any resubmitted comment will be treated as if it were received on its 
original submission date. Comments already received and posted on the 
Commission website need not be resubmitted. If commenters have 
questions or concerns about whether their comment was received by the 
Commission, they should contact the SEC staff at the address, telephone 
number, or email address listed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ https://www.sec.gov/rules/submitcomments.htm.
    \2\ In the event the SEC staff determines that any other comment 
files were affected, the Commission will consider whether additional 
action is warranted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To further ensure that interested persons, including any affected 
commenters, have the opportunity to comment on the releases or to 
resubmit comments, the Commission is reopening the comment periods for 
the following Rulemaking Releases, which SEC staff
