The SEC published a request for public comment on disclosures called for by Industry Guide 3 - Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies. Stating that the financial services industry has changed drastically since Guide 3 was originally published, the SEC is soliciting public input on whether Guide 3 continues to elicit the information that investors need for informed investment and voting decisions.  The SEC also seeks comment on whether there are new types of disclosures about the activities of bank holding companies that investors would find important.

The request for comment is published on the SEC website and in the Federal Register.  The comment period will remain open until May 8, 2017.
