This article discusses the Release No. 7934 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in November 1968, setting forth the new procedures of the SEC for expediting registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933. Release No. 4934 requires representation letters where the SEC staff has made only cursory audits of registration statements. The new procedures contemplate that registration statements under the Act will be processed in one of three different ways: (1) some will be rejected without comments because they are so poorly prepared, (2) some will be subject to a cursory review only and (3) some will be subject to the same review process as has been common in the past. The apparent of the SEC adoption of these new procedures is: (1) To make clear to the various parts their responsibilities for the accuracy and completeness of a registration statement filed with the SEC, (2) To publicize the fact that the SEC staff is not responsible for correcting errors or inaccuracies in registration statements and (3) To provide some assurance that the responsible persons will not submit a clearly substandard or doubtful registration statement to the SEC in the expectation that the staff of the SEC will tell them how to correct deficiencies.
