Riepilogo

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is revising its regulations with respect to the delegations of authority to the Director of the Division of Enforcement. These revisions are the result of the Commission's experience with its nonpublic investigations, litigation in Federal court, and disgorgement and Fair Fund plans in administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings instituted by the Commission. The revisions are intended to conserve Commission resources and make Commission operations more efficient by delegating to the Director the discretion to take the actions described below.
