Speaking of the SEC’s newly revamped website, the SEC issued a notice on Friday indicating that, due to a technological error, members of the public trying to use the agency’s online comment form may have received a message indicating that they were unable to complete the submission during the period May 30 until June 26, 2024.

The notice indicates that the technological error affected online forms that can be used to submit comments on Commission rulemakings, self-regulatory organization matters, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board proposed rule changes, and other matters open for public comment. Commenters were able to submit comments during this time by sending an email to rule-comments@sec.gov or by sending the comments letters in paper to the SEC’s address.

The notice indicates that the SEC has now been resolved, and commenters can submit their comments now using the online portal. There is no need to resubmit comments that were previously submitted via alternative means and are now posted on the SEC’s website.
