All, I have called and left messages and no one has called me back to help. I need to delete my comments that I did on May 10th, 2022 (See below) for the Subject of S7-10-22 Comments for The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. I tried to edit and or delete the comment but I can’t. Can someone help me with this issue or direct me to the right person? It looks like it comments form auto-filled my Affiliation and it should not include my company name. Subject: S7-10-22: WebForm Comments from Grantt Bedford From: Grantt Bedford Affiliation: Director of Safety, Environment and Quality, ENI US May. 10, 2022 **** May 10, 2022 This new proposal for ESG reporting will undermine the existing regulatory framework of what a company must report. There is no standard for reporting ESG information and this new proposal will harm businesses, investors, and the economy. There are already existing rules covering climate risks. This is being done by the companies themselves and we don’t need another government agency making them report useless information. Another issue that I see is reporting of scope 3 emissions, this is going to put a tremendous burden on big companies and will put undue stress on small businesses. This proposal will not provide comparable, consistent information from company to company. I all so believe that the SEC does not have the constitutional authority to force companies to disclose this information. The cost of this proposal on big business is going to be very expensive and for small business it could be extremely expensive and force them to close. In closing, we dont need another government rule/regulation posed on business and we need to make sure the government is working for the people of America not working against them. Thank you, Grantt V. Bedford
