Subject: Securities and Exchange Commission: Enhanced Reporting of Proxy Votes by
Registered Management Investment Companies; Reporting of Executive
Compensation Votes by Institutional Investment Managers
Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) entitled Enhanced Reporting
of Proxy Votes by Registered Management Investment Companies; Reporting of Executive
Compensation Votes by Institutional Investment Managers (RIN: 3235-AK67). We received
the rule on November 2, 2022. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
December 22, 2022. 87 Fed. Reg. 78770. The effective date is July 1, 2024.
According to SEC, it is adopting amendments to Form N-PX under the Investment Company Act
(ICA) of 1940 to enhance the information mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and certain
other funds currently report about their proxy votes and to make that information easier to
analyze. 15 U.S.C. §§ 80a-4, 80a-5(a)(1). SEC stated that it is also adopting rule and form
amendments under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) that would require an
institutional investment manager subject to the Exchange Act to report on Form N-PX how it
voted proxies relating to executive compensation matters, as required by the Exchange Act.
15 U.S.C. §§ 78a-78qq. SEC also stated that the reporting requirements for institutional
investment managers complete implementation of those requirements added by the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. See 15 U.S.C. § 78n-1.
Enclosed is our assessment of SEC's compliance with the procedural steps required by section
801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. If you have any questions about
this report or wish to contact GAO officials responsible for the evaluation work relating to the
subject matter of the rule, please contact Shari Brewster, Assistant General Counsel, at (202)
