Background In 1972, the Commission began compiling and publishing Commission orders and rulemaking releases in an SEC Docket for weekly dissemination to the public. The Commission has determined that publishing the SEC Docket is no longer a cost-efficient way to disseminate information to the public because all materials appearing in the SEC Docket have already been posted upon release on the SEC public website at www.sec.gov. PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 25365 In 2013, facing increases in publication costs and dwindling subscription numbers, the Commission began publishing the Docket electronically on the SEC website. Producing and posting the SEC Docket electronically continues to require significant staff resources. The Office of the Secretary estimates that approximately 600 staff hours are expended annually to prepare the Docket. Moreover, with Docket materials already posted elsewhere on the website several weeks before the Docket is completed and published, the Docket generally receives less than 0.01% of all SEC website traffic. Accordingly, the Commission plans to immediately discontinue publication of the SEC Docket but to continue posting these materials on the SEC website in real time. In light of this change, the Commission is adopting technical amendments to Title 17, Chapter II of the Code of Federal Regulations to eliminate references to the SEC Docket and, where appropriate, replace references to the SEC Docket with references to the SEC website. II. Administrative Law Matters The Commission finds, in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’), that these revisions relate solely to agency organization, procedures, or practice and do not constitute a substantive rule. Accordingly, the APA’s provisions regarding notice of rulemaking, opportunity for public comment, and advance publication of the amendments are not applicable.1 For the same reason, and because these amendments do not affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties, the provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act are not applicable.2 Additionally, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, which apply only when notice and comment are required by the APA or other law, are not applicable.3 These amendments do not contain any collection of information requirements as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.4 Further, because the amendments impose no new burdens on private parties, the Commission does not believe that the amendments will have any impact on competition for purposes of Section 23(a)(2) of the Exchange Act.5 15 U.S.C. 553.

Technical Amendments to Rules of Practice and Rules of 
Organization; Conduct and Ethics; and Information and Requests

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or 
``Commission'') is making technical amendments to certain rules of 
organization and rules of practice to indicate that Commission 
materials will no longer be compiled and published as the ``SEC 
Docket'' (``SEC Docket'' or ``Docket''), but will continue to be 
available on the SEC public website.

DATES: Effective Date: June 1, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hannah Riedel, Senior Counsel, (202) 
551-5150, Office of the General Counsel, Securities and Exchange 
Commission or J. Lynn Taylor, Assistant Secretary, (202) 551-5400, 
Office of the Secretary, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549-9150.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    In 1972, the Commission began compiling and publishing Commission 
orders and rulemaking releases in an SEC Docket for weekly 
dissemination to the public. The Commission has determined that 
publishing the SEC Docket is no longer a cost-efficient way to 
disseminate information to the public because all materials appearing 
in the SEC Docket have already been posted upon release on the SEC 
public website at www.sec.gov.
    In 2013, facing increases in publication costs and dwindling 
subscription numbers, the Commission began publishing the Docket 
electronically on the SEC website. Producing and posting the SEC Docket 
electronically continues to require significant staff resources. The 
Office of the Secretary estimates that approximately 600 staff hours 
are expended annually to prepare the Docket. Moreover, with Docket 
materials already posted elsewhere on the website several weeks before 
the Docket is completed and published, the Docket generally receives 
less than 0.01% of all SEC website traffic.
    Accordingly, the Commission plans to immediately discontinue 
publication of the SEC Docket but to continue posting these materials 
on the SEC website in real time. In light of this change, the 
Commission is adopting technical amendments to Title 17, Chapter II of 
the Code of Federal Regulations to eliminate references to the SEC 
Docket and, where appropriate, replace references to the SEC Docket 
with references to the SEC website.

II. Administrative Law Matters

    The Commission finds, in accordance with the Administrative 
Procedure Act (``APA''), that these revisions relate solely to agency 
organization, procedures, or practice and do not constitute a 
substantive rule. Accordingly, the APA's provisions regarding notice of 
rulemaking, opportunity for public comment, and advance publication of 
the amendments are not applicable.\1\ For the same reason, and because 
these amendments do not affect the rights or obligations of non-agency 
parties, the provisions of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 
Fairness Act are not applicable.\2\ Additionally, the provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, which apply only when notice and comment 
are required by the APA or other law, are not applicable.\3\ These 
amendments do not contain any collection of information requirements as 
defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.\4\ Further, because the 
amendments impose no new burdens on private parties, the Commission 
does not believe that the amendments will have any impact on 
competition for purposes of Section 23(a)(2) of the Exchange Act.\5\
