sec reopening

In finance, a **SEC reopening** refers to when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reopens a previously closed comment period or rulemaking process to allow for additional public input, often because of new information, changes in market conditions, or further analysis that may affect the proposed rule. It can also refer to a situation in U.S. Treasury securities where previously issued securities are sold again (a “reopening”) rather than a new issuance, though that is typically called a “Treasury reopening.”
