On January 13, 2026, the SEC issued this [Statement on Reforming Regulation S-K](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/atkins-statement-reforming-regulation-s-k-011326). SEC Chair Paul Atkins believes that Regulation S-K "elicits both material and **a plethora of undisputably immaterial information**."
The SEC is actively soliciting public comments on how S-K might be amended—in other words, reduce the volume and types of information that companies must disclose. This includes, but is not limited to, requirements for disclosures concerning a company's stocks or other securities, ongoing material legal proceedings, financial data, cybersecurity risk management, internal controls and corporate governance matters.
"I welcome and encourage members of the public to provide their views on how the Commission can amend Regulation S-K, with the goal of revising the requirements to focus on eliciting disclosure of material information and avoid compelling the disclosure of immaterial information. Please submit your comments as soon as possible and by no later than April 13, 2026. ... Use the SEC’s [Internet submission form](https://www.sec.gov/comments/cll-15/regulation-s-k#no-back) or send an email to
[email protected] with "CLL-15" included in the subject line."
Literally anyone can submit public comments on whether or not certain reporting requirements under S-K should be, essentially, ended.
