At this meeting, the SEC will consider whether to adopt amendments to Form PF, which is the confidential reporting form for certain registered investment advisers to private funds, to require current reporting for certain private fund advisers and revise certain reporting requirements.

The staff will also consider whether the agency should:

• require the electronic filing or submission on the SEC’s EDGAR system, using structured data where appropriate, of several forms, notices, and reports required under the Exchange Act
• nullify Form 19b-4(e) and require the data currently in Form 19b-4(e) instead to be publicly posted on the listing self-regulatory organization’s website
• propose the removal of the requirement in Form 19b-4 for a manual signature and the related manual signature retention requirement
• amend the SEC’s Informal and Other Procedures to reflect that Form 1 and Form 1-N would be submitted electronically and make certain technical revisions
• modify the rule for registered clearing agencies that requires that supplementary materials be posted to the clearing agency’s website, rather than submit such material in paper copy to the SEC
• allow electronic signatures in certain broker-dealer filings and proposing amendments regarding the Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single Report (Form X-17A-5) to harmonize with other rules, make technical corrections, and provide clarifications
• propose to require that notices made pursuant to Rule 3a71-3(d)(1)(vi) be withdrawn in specified circumstances

For further information, contact the Office of the Secretary at (202) 551-5400.
