SEC 上一次更新《隐私法案》规则是在 2011 年。本次通过的修正案将 SEC

处理公众依《隐私法案》提出请求的现行实践进行了编纂，这使得个人获取与自

身有关信息的程序更加清晰。

由于修订范围广泛，最终规则将全面取代 SEC 现行的《隐私法案》规则。

最终规则将在 SEC 官网和《联邦公报》上公布。最终规则将在《联邦公报》

上公布 30 日后生效。

SEC Approves Revised Privacy Act Rule (2023/9/20)

The Securities and Exchange Commission today approved a rule to revise the

Commission’s regulations under the Privacy Act, which is the principal law governing

the handling of personal information in the federal government. The final rule clarifies,

updates, and streamlines the Commission’s Privacy Act regulations. In addition, the

final rule revises procedural and fee provisions and eliminates unnecessary provisions.

The final rule also allows for electronic methods to verify one’s identity and submit

Privacy Act requests.

“I was pleased to support this adoption because it will update the Commission’s

rules with respect to this important law,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. “These

amendments will provide more clarity on how the public can access their records

maintained by the Commission and request amendments.”

The Commission last updated its Privacy Act rules in 2011. The revisions

approved today will codify current practices for processing requests made by the public

under the Privacy Act. This provides greater clarity regarding the Commission’s process

for how individuals can access information pertaining to themselves.

Due to the scope of the revisions, the final rule replaces the Commission’s current

Privacy Act regulations in their entirety.
