ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is amending its rules to conform them to amendments made to the Inspector General Act of 1978 that require the Commission’s Inspector General to report to and be under the general supervision of the full Commission.

Mary Beth Sullivan, Counsel, Office of the Inspector General, at (202) 551– 6039, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion Section 8G(d)(1) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (‘‘IG Act’’) 1 provides: ‘‘Each Inspector General shall report to and be under the general supervision of the head of the designated Federal entity, but shall not report to, or be subject to supervision by, any other officer or employee of such designated Federal entity.’’ Prior to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’),2 section 8G(a)(4) of the IG Act defined the ‘‘head of the designated Federal entity’’ to mean, unless specifically designated by statute, the chief policymaking officer or board of the designated Federal entity as identified in a list published annually by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’). OMB’s annual lists identified the ‘‘Chairperson’’ as the head of the SEC. Section 989B of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the IG Act to provide that the ‘‘head of the designated Federal entity’’ with a board or commission (such as the SEC) means ‘‘the board or commission of the designated Federal entity * * * .’’ Accordingly, the Inspector General must now report to, and be under the general supervision of, the full Commission. These amendments conform the Commission’s rules that address the reporting line of the Commission’s Inspector General to the amendments made by the Dodd-Frank Act to the IG Act by replacing references to the ‘‘Chairman’’ in these rules with references to the ‘‘Commission’’. II. Related Matters A. Administrative Procedure Act and Other Administrative Laws The Commission has determined that these amendments to its rules relate solely to the agency’s organization, procedure, or practice. Accordingly, the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act regarding notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for public participation are not applicable.3 The Regulatory Flexibility Act, therefore, does not apply.4 Because these rules relate solely to the agency’s organization, procedure, or practice and do not substantially affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties, they are not subject to the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.5 Finally, these amendments do not contain any collection of information requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as amended.6 B. Cost-Benefit Analysis The Commission is sensitive to the costs and benefits imposed by its rules. The amendments adopted today are procedural in nature and will produce the benefit of conforming the Commission’s rules to amendments made to the IG Act that require the Commission’s Inspector General to report to and be under the general supervision of the full Commission. The Commission also believes that these amendments will not impose any costs on non-agency parties, or that if there are any such costs, they are negligible. C. Consideration of Burden on Competition Section 23(a)(2) of the Exchange Act requires the Commission, in making rules pursuant to any provision of the Exchange Act, to consider among other 35 1 Public Law 95–452; 92 Stat. 1101 (1978), as amended. 2 Public Law 111–203; 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 200

[Release No. 34-66355]


Reporting Line for the Commission's Inspector General

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is 
amending its rules to conform them to amendments made to the Inspector 
General Act of 1978 that require the Commission's Inspector General to 
report to and be under the general supervision of the full Commission.

DATES: Effective Date: February 14, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Beth Sullivan, Counsel, Office of 
the Inspector General, at (202) 551-6039, Securities and Exchange 
Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    Section 8G(d)(1) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (``IG Act'') 
\1\ provides: ``Each Inspector General shall report to and be under the 
general supervision of the head of the designated Federal entity, but 
shall not report to, or be subject to supervision by, any other officer 
or employee of such designated Federal entity.'' Prior to the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank 
Act''),\2\ section 8G(a)(4) of the IG Act defined the ``head of the 
designated Federal entity'' to mean, unless specifically designated by 
statute, the chief policymaking officer or board of the designated 
Federal entity as identified in a list published annually by the 
Director of the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB''). OMB's annual 
lists identified the ``Chairperson'' as the head of the SEC. Section 
989B of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the IG Act to provide that the 
``head of the designated Federal entity'' with a board or commission 
(such as the SEC) means ``the board or commission of the designated 
Federal entity * * * .'' Accordingly, the Inspector General must now 
report to, and be under the general supervision of, the full 
Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 95-452; 92 Stat. 1101 (1978), as amended.
    \2\ Public Law 111-203; 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These amendments conform the Commission's rules that address the 
reporting line of the Commission's Inspector General to the amendments 
made by the Dodd-Frank Act to the IG Act by replacing references to the 
``Chairman'' in these rules with references to the ``Commission''.

II. Related Matters

A. Administrative Procedure Act and Other Administrative Laws

    The Commission has determined that these amendments to its rules 
relate solely to the agency's organization, procedure, or practice. 
Accordingly, the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act 
regarding notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity for public 
participation are not applicable.\3\ The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 
therefore, does not apply.\4\ Because these rules relate solely to the 
agency's organization, procedure, or practice and do not substantially 
affect the rights or obligations of non-agency parties, they are not 
subject to the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.\5\ 
Finally, these amendments do not contain any collection of information 
requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as 
amended.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
    \5\ 5 U.S.C. 804.
    \6\ 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Cost-Benefit Analysis

    The Commission is sensitive to the costs and benefits imposed by 
its rules. The amendments adopted today are procedural in nature and 
will produce the benefit of conforming the Commission's rules to 
amendments made to the IG Act that require the Commission's Inspector 
General to report to and be under the general supervision of the full 
Commission. The Commission also believes that these amendments will not 
impose any costs on non-agency parties, or that if there are any such 
costs, they are negligible.

C. Consideration of Burden on Competition

    Section 23(a)(2) of the Exchange Act requires the Commission, in 
making rules pursuant to any provision of the Exchange Act, to consider 
among other

[[Page 8095]]

matters the impact any such rule would have on competition. The 
Commission does not believe that the amendments that the Commission is 
adopting today will have any impact on competition.

    Statutory Authority: The amendments to the Commission's rules 
are adopted pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 77s, 78d, 78d-1, 78d-2, 78w, 78mm, 
80a-37, 80b-11, and 7202; 5 U.S.C. App. (Inspector General Act of 
1978) Sec.  8G; and Sec.  989B of Pub. L. 111-203 (2010).
