Investment Company Governance Technical Amendments

What it does

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") is adopting technical amendments to a rule under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") related to registered investment company and business development company (collectively "regulated funds") governance standards to reflect a Federal court's vacatur of certain amendments to those standards that the Commission adopted on July 27, 2004. The court's vacatur of the amendments was effective as of July 6, 2006, and had the legal effect of reverting the fund governance standards to those standards in effect before adoption of the vacated requirements. These technical amendments revise the Code of Federal Regulations (the "CFR") to reflect the court's vacatur.
