The Securities and Exchange Commission has published a Request for Comment relating to certain disclosures required under Regulation S-K relating to management, certain security holders, and certain director and corporate governance matters.
The Request for Comment issued today, focused on Subpart 400 of Regulation S-K, is part of the Commission’s broader Disclosure Effectiveness initiative, including a separate Concept Release and Proposed Rule issued for public comment a little over a month ago.

There is a 60-day comment period on the Release issued today (ending 60 days after the Release is published in the Federal Register).
