<p><span>Today, the Commission is considering amendments to require covered firms to notify their customers of data breaches.</span><a name=" ftnref1" href="https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/gensler-statement-regulation-sp-031523?utm medium=email&utm source=govdelivery# ftn1">[1]</a><span> I support these amendments because, through making critical updates to a rule first adopted in 2000, this proposal would help protect the privacy of customers’ financial data.</span></p>
<p><span>Today, the Commission is considering whether to propose joint amendments with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to Form PF, an important reporting tool that the Commission and the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) use, respectively, to protect investors and monitor systemic risk. I am pleased to support the proposal because, if adopted, it would improve the quality of the information we receive from all Form PF filers, with a particular focus on large hedge fund advisers.</span></p>
