The following Letter Type A, or variations thereof, was submitted by individuals or entities.

Letter Type A:

Dear SEC Commissioners: As an investor in the extractives sector, I believe that oil, gas, and mining companies should be required to disclose publicly disaggregated information about the payments they make to governments. Given the role that corruption plays in hindering economic growth and fostering political instability and poor governance, payment transparency can provide citizens with information needed to hold governments and companies accountable, and ensure that investors have access to material information for making informed investment decisions. I therefore urge you to issue a final rule to implement Section 1504 of the Dodd-Frank Act that requires public, project-level disclosure for all payments above $100,000 that companies make to governments related to the commercial development of oil, gas or minerals, with no exemptions. Sincerely,
