Securities and Exchange Commission — observed across 2 documents over 65 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The SEC is extending approval to collect information from investment companies using Form N-2, which requires them to disclose how they operate and where money is invested. If you manage a closed-end investment fund, expect reporting requirements to continue as they are; most other small business owners won't be affected by this SEC approval process.
