March 13, 2023 This proposed rule introduces additional risk into the ethics processes SEC staff must follow. There have been security breaches related to staff PII, often related to third-party systems. This retroactive proposal adds another third party to the already onerous and wholly adequate processes in place. I do not want my personal data residing in yet another database where the security will undoubtedly be compromised. Allowing a third party to log into the accounts is unacceptable. I will seriously reassess my ability to work at the commission in light of its overreach and encroachment. The SEC's ethics attention would be better spent on policing securities-related matters in Congress and Executive branch, their preclearance policies and procedures, and their amazingly timed trades.
