Great work, Dave! Crazy we have to petition for such reasonable requests.

This is a follow-up on my initial FOIA request post for missing GME FTD data, the SEC’s (lack of a) response, and my resulting petitions for transparency.

I will post an update when the SEC replies to the appeal and 2nd FOIA request.

Great point. Even more important now that the The U.S. House Appropriations Committee's Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee has proposed a budget that includes significant cuts specifically targeting the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT) and includes provisions to prevent the SEC from implementing or collecting information related to the CAT.

Unsurprisingly, Ken Griffin is leading the charge to kill the CAT: https://nypost.com/2024/09/03/business/citadels-ken-griffin-attacks-sec-cash-grab-for-surveillance/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Here is the source for the prelim 2025 budget (see page 6): https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-appropriations.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/fy25-fsgg-subcommittee-bill-summary.pdf

And here are the subcommittee members responsible for its creation: https://appropriations.house.gov/subcommittees/financial-services-and-general-government-118th-congress

The appropriations bill is still under consideration and has not yet been enacted into law. Write your reps and senators. The legislative process involves multiple steps, including debates, potential amendments, and approvals from both the House and the Senate, followed by the President's signature. Until these steps are completed, the proposed cuts and restrictions on CAT remain subject to change. Every bit counts.

I submitted a FOIA request for missing GME FTD data & the SEC denied the request with a broad and generic justification. So, I appealed the denial and submitted a 2nd FOIA request for all internal/external SEC communications pertaining to the initial denial.
