FYI: Although the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has resumed normal operations and staffing levels, ETF-related delays are likely to persist, according to statements made by the agency.
More than 4,500 employees have returned to work at the agency's Washington, D.C., headquarters and 11 regional offices located around the country. This includes the Division of Investment Management, the branch of the agency that handles most ETF filings.
According to a statement posted to the Division of Investment Management's website, the agency will be evaluating filings, exemptive relief requests and requests for guidance based on "when an item was amended or initially filed."
