Overview

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission') is amending its Informal and Other Procedures to add a rule to facilitate interim Commission review of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB') inspection reports under Section 104(h) of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act'), and its Rules of Organization and Program Management and Rules of Practice to delegate authority to the Chief Accountant related to these reviews. The Commission is also establishing a subpart in its Informal and Other Procedures--Regulation P--to include procedural rules relating to the PCAOB.
