SEC seeks OMB extension for Investor Form information collection
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The SEC is renewing approval for its online Investor Form, which people use to submit investment complaints, questions, tips, and feedback. The form asks for contact details, the people or firms involved, the issue, supporting documents, and any steps the investor has already taken. The change is administrative, but it matters for investors and SEC staff. The form helps the agency process about 13,000 contacts a year, track complaint trends, answer questions, and identify issues that may need enforcement review. Use of the form remains voluntary, and investors can still contact the SEC by phone, fax, mail, or email.
