Technical Amendment to Rules of Organization; Conduct and Ethics; and Information and Requests
The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is making technical amendments to the rule by which authority is delegated to the Director of the Division of Enforcement.

Amendments to Procedures for Certain Determinations and Decisions
We propose to revise the procedures for how claimants who request hearings before administrative law judges (ALJs) may seek further review of their fully favorable revised determinations based on prehearing case reviews or fully favorable attorney advisor decisions. We also propose to notify claimants who receive partially favorable determinations based on prehearing case reviews that an ALJ will still hold a hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing requests. We expect that these changes will simplify the process and free up scarce administrative resources that we can better use to reduce the hearings level case backlog.
