To Whom It May Concern: 




I am a reporter for FTF News in Manhattan, working on a story about the SEC's revamp of cybersecurity rules in the financial-services sector. 


The revamp would apply to the various "market entities," including broker-dealers and various security-based swap dealers and repositories. 


I'm requesting comment.  


More specifically, my question is this: What's taking so long? Shouldn't risk-mitigation policies be in place, especially the plan for all market entities to give "immediate written electronic notice of a significant cybersecurity incident"?  


I'll be filing at the close of the business day, on Monday, March 20, 2023. I look forward to your reply to this email address. 


Thanks in advance,
