SUMMARY: Due to a technological error, a number of public comments
submitted through the Securities and Exchange Commission's
(``Commission'' or ``SEC'') internet comment form were not received by
the Commission. The majority of the affected comments were submitted in
August 2022; however, the technological error is known to have occurred
as early as June 2021. All commenters who submitted a public comment to
one of the affected comment files through the internet comment form
between June 2021 and August 2022 are advised to check the relevant
comment file posted on <a href="http://SEC.gov">SEC.gov</a> to determine whether their comment was
received and posted. If a comment has not been posted, commenters
should resubmit that comment by following the instructions provided
below. To further ensure that interested persons, including any
affected commenters, have the opportunity to comment on the affected
releases or to resubmit comments, the Commission is reopening the
comment periods for certain Commission rulemaking releases listed

will post all comments on the Commission's website (<a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed.shtml">https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed.shtml</a>). Comments are also available for
website viewing and printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to a technological error, a number of
public comments submitted through the Commission's internet form for
the submission of comment letters \1\ were not received by the
Commission and therefore were not posted in the relevant comment file.
The majority of the affected comments were submitted in August 2022;
however, a relatively small number of affected comments date from
earlier months, and the technological error is known to have occurred
as early as June 2021. The vast majority of the affected comments have
now been received by the Commission and posted. To date, the staff's
review of the available information indicates that the error only
affected the comment files for the Rulemaking Releases and self-
regulatory organization (``SRO'') matters identified in the tables
below.\2\ Commenters who submitted a public comment to any of these
files through the internet comment form between June 2021 and August
2022 are advised to check the relevant comment file posted on <a href="http://SEC.gov">SEC.gov</a>
to determine whether their comment was received and posted. If a
comment has not been posted, commenters should resubmit that comment.
Any resubmitted comment will be treated as if it were received on its
original submission date. Comments already received and posted on the
Commission website need not be resubmitted. If commenters have
questions or concerns about whether their comment was received by the
Commission, they should contact the SEC staff at the address, telephone
number, or email address listed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ <a href="https://www.sec.gov/rules/submitcomments.htm">https://www.sec.gov/rules/submitcomments.htm</a>.
\2\ In the event the SEC staff determines that any other comment
files were affected, the Commission will consider whether additional
action is warranted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To further ensure that interested persons, including any affected
commenters, have the opportunity to comment on the releases or to
resubmit comments, the Commission is reopening the comment periods for
the following Rulemaking Releases, which SEC staff
[[Page 63017]]
have identified as having comment files that were potentially affected
by the technological error, until November 1, 2022:
