We are making technical corrections to rules adopted in Release No. 33-8177 (January 23, 2003), which were published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2003 (68 FR 5110). The rules implement Sections 406 and 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by requiring disclosures regarding audit committee financial experts and codes of ethics. This document amends an instruction to the rule to clarify that disclosures regarding audit committee financial experts are required only in annual reports.
