🇬🇧 English

The notice keeps in place the SEC’s Form 3 reporting requirement, which asks company insiders to disclose their beneficial ownership of registered equity securities. It applies to directors, officers, and people who own more than 10% of a covered class of shares. There is no substantive rule change for companies or insiders. The SEC is asking OMB to extend approval for this information collection and to treat it as a common form because the Federal Reserve also uses the same collection. Form 3 filings remain mandatory and public through EDGAR.
