A Caution On The Limits Of Authority: Statement Regarding In The Matter Of The Brink’s Company,Commissioner Hester M. Peirce June 22, 2022, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, June 22, 2022

Date 22/06/2022

I support the Commission’s finding that, for the reasons explained in the Order Instituting Cease and Desist Proceedings, The Brink’s Company (“Brinks”) violated Exchange Act Rule 21F-17(a)’s prohibition against taking “any action to impede an individual from communicating directly with the Commission staff about a possible securities law violation, including enforcing, or threatening to enforce, a confidentiality agreement . . . with respect to such communications.” I nonetheless again write to explain my view regarding the scope of the Commission’s authority under that rule. When it adopted Rule 21F-17 in 2011, the Commission explained that “Section 21F of the Exchange Act evinces a Congressional purpose to facilitate the disclosure of information to the Commission relating to possible securities law violations and to preserve the confidentiality of those who do so.” Adopting Rule 21F-17(a), as the Commission further explained, was “necessary and appropriate because . . . efforts to impede an individual’s direct communications with the Commission staff about a possible securities law violation would conflict with the statutory purpose of encouraging individuals to report to the Commission.” The Commission’s authority to adopt and enforce Rule 21F-17 necessarily is limited to the scope and purpose of Exchange Act Section 21F, which is to ensure the free flow of information to the Commission.

Rip Current Rulemakings: Statement On The Regulatory Flexibility Agenda, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, June 22, 2022

Date 22/06/2022

Chair Gensler’s Regulatory Flexibility Agenda for the Securities and Exchange Commission sets forth flawed goals and a flawed method for achieving them. The agenda, if enacted, risks setting off the regulatory version of a rip current—fast-moving currents flowing away from shore that can be fatal to swimmers. Just as certain wave and wind conditions can create dangerous rip currents, the pace and character of the rulemakings on this agenda make for dangerous conditions in our capital markets.
