Interpretive Rule
Interpretation of the SEC's Whistleblower Rules Under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Overview
The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission or SEC) is issuing this interpretive rule to clarify that, for purposes of the employment retaliation protections provided by Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act'), an individual's status as a whistleblower does not depend on adherence to the reporting procedures specified in Exchange Act Rule 21F-9(a), but is determined solely by the terms of Exchange Act Rule 21F-2(b)(1).
