Package note: This Analysis covers a one-paragraph Federal Register correction (FR Doc. C1-2026-20360, 91 FR 66293, October 20, 2026) to an SEC proposed rule first published October 5, 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-20360, 91 FR 63388; Release No. 33-11444; 34-106534; IC-36351; File No. S7-2026-34; RIN 3235-AN83). We compared the corrected text against the original page.
Primary sources
- Federal Register, “Interval Fund Modernization; Expansion of Multiple Share Class to Registered Closed-End Management Investment Companies and Business Development Companies; Correction” (October 20, 2026): https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/10/20/C1-2026-20360/interval-fund-modernization-expansion-of-multiple-share-class-to-registered-closed-end-management
- Original proposed rule, 91 FR 63388 (October 5, 2026): https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-10-05/pdf/2026-20360.pdf
The correction rewrites the DATES section on page 63388 of the October 5 proposal to read: “This release was published in the Federal Register on October 5, 2026. Comments should be received on or before December 4, 2026.”
Core Tension
The deadline didn’t change. It was already December 4. The original DATES section printed “This r was published in the Federal Register on October 5, 2026. Comments should be received on or before December 4, 2026.” The only difference in the correction is that “r” becomes “release.” The comment deadline, the proposed rule text and every requirement stay the same. That’s worth knowing for anyone who read the “correction” heading as a new or extended comment period.
What the correction does
| Element | Effect |
|---|---|
| Section corrected | DATES, page 63388, first column |
| Before | “This r was published… Comments should be received on or before December 4, 2026.” |
| After | “This release was published… Comments should be received on or before December 4, 2026.” |
| Comment deadline | December 4, 2026 (unchanged) |
| Rule text | Unchanged |
Claims check
| Claim | Assessment | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Comments are due December 4, 2026 | Verified | Both the original and corrected DATES sections |
| The correction changes the comment deadline | False | Same date before and after |
| The correction changes the proposed rule | False | Only the DATES wording is corrected |
Context / what to watch
- December 4, 2026: the comment deadline on File No. S7-2026-34.
- The proposal itself: interval fund changes and multiple share classes for closed-end funds and BDCs. That substance is in the October 5 release, not in this correction.
