List of Rules To Be Reviewed Pursuant to the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Publication of list of rules scheduled for review.

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

SUMMARY: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA'') requires an agency to 
publish in the Federal Register, each year, a list of rules that are to 
be reviewed in accordance with the RFA during the succeeding 12 months. 
Based upon its review of rules potentially subject to review under the 
RFA during the succeeding 12 months, the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (``Commission'') has determined that no such rules are 
required to be reviewed. Accordingly, the agency is not publishing a 
list of rules to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the succeeding 
12 months.

DATES: October 13, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandra Sojka, General Attorney, Office 
of the General Counsel, 202-551-4928.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA''), 
codified at 5 U.S.C. 601 through 612, requires an agency to review its 
rules that have a significant economic impact upon a substantial number 
of small entities within 10 years of the publication of such rules as 
final rules. 5 U.S.C. 610(a). The purpose of the review is ``to 
determine whether such rules should be continued without change, or 
should be amended or rescinded . . . to minimize any significant 
economic impact of the rules upon a substantial number of such small 
entities.'' 5 U.S.C. 610(a).
    The RFA further requires an agency to publish in the Federal 
Register, each year, a list of the rules that are to be reviewed in 
accordance with the RFA during the succeeding 12 months. 5 U.S.C. 
610(c). In determining which rules to include in each year's rule 
review list, the Commission analyzes rules adopted in the ninth 
calendar year prior to the year the rule review list is published, and 
those rules included in the rule review list are reviewed in accordance 
with the RFA during the calendar year following the year the rule 
review list is published. The Commission includes in its rule review 
lists any rules that may have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities, but excludes rules that 
previously have been reviewed, rules that have been substantially 
changed since adoption, rules that are minor amendments to previously 
adopted rules, and rules that are ministerial, procedural, or technical 
in nature. Based upon an analysis of the rules adopted by the 
Commission in 2014, the Commission has determined that no such rules 
are required to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the succeeding 
12 months. Accordingly, the agency is publishing a list that reflects 
that there are no rules to be reviewed pursuant to the RFA during the 
succeeding 12 months.

    By the Commission.

    Dated: October 6, 2023.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.
