Regulatory Flexibility Agenda

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission is publishing the 
Chairman's agenda of rulemaking actions pursuant to the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (RFA) (Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164) (Sept. 19, 1980). 
The items listed in the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda for spring 2018 
reflect only the priorities of the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and 
Exchange Commission and do not necessarily reflect the view and 
priorities of any individual Commissioner.
    Information in the agenda was accurate on March 13, 2018, the date 
on which the Commission's staff completed compilation of the data. To 
the extent possible, rulemaking actions by the Commission since that 
date have been reflected in the agenda. The Commission invites 
questions and public comment on the agenda and on the individual agenda 
entries.
    The Commission is now printing in the Federal Register, along with 
our preamble, only those agenda entries for which we have indicated 
that preparation of an RFA analysis is required.
    The Commission's complete RFA agenda will be available online at 
www.reginfo.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RFA requires each Federal agency, twice 
each year, to publish in the Federal Register an agenda identifying 
rules that the agency expects to consider in the next 12 months that 
are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602(a)). The RFA specifically 
provides that publication of the agenda does not preclude an agency 
from considering or acting on any matter not included in the agenda and 
that an agency is not required to consider or act on any matter that is 
included in the agenda (5 U.S.C. 602(d)). The Commission may consider 
or act on any matter earlier or later than the estimated date provided 
on the agenda. While the agenda reflects the current intent to complete 
a number of rulemakings in the next year, the precise dates for each 
rulemaking at this point are uncertain. Actions that do not have an 
estimated date are placed in the long-term category; the Commission may 
nevertheless act on items in that category within the next 12 months. 
The agenda includes new entries, entries carried over from prior 
publications, and rulemaking actions that have been completed (or 
withdrawn) since publication of the last agenda.
    The following abbreviations for the acts administered by the 
Commission are used in the agenda:

``Securities Act''--Securities Act of 1933
``Exchange Act''--Securities Exchange Act of 1934
``Investment Company Act''--Investment Company Act of 1940
``Investment Advisers Act''--Investment Advisers Act of 1940
``Dodd Frank Act''--Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection Act
``JOBS Act''--Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
``FAST Act''--Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act

    The Commission invites public comment on the agenda and on the 
individual agenda entries.

    By the Commission.

    Dated: March 14, 2018.
Brent J. Fields,
Secretary.

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Independent agency.
    Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 80a-6(c); 15 U.S.C. 80a-31(a); 15 U.S.C.
