Last Friday, John Jenkins wrote about the SEC’s new Fall 2022 Reg Flex Agenda that contains updates on SEC’s regulatory actions and possible scheduling. According to the update, the SEC is looking to issue a final climate disclosure rule in April 2023. Published dates for other ESG-related developments in the works include finalizing:
- the Names Rule (October 2023)
- enhanced ESG disclosure for investment funds and advisors (October 2023)
John points out
“Whenever we blog about these Reg Flex Agenda dates, we always point out that they are by no means etched in stone. That being said, the only major item on the last edition of the SEC’s Reg Flex Agenda where final action was postponed was the agency’s climate change disclosure proposal. So, it looks like could be in for a veritable ‘bomb cyclone’ of rulemaking over the next few months.”
