   Investment Adviser Performance-Based Compensation Modernization

   The Securities and Exchange Commission proposes to amend rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to expand when registered investment advisers can receive performance-based compensation tied to capital gains or appreciation. The proposal would allow such compensation from regulated funds and from additional clients meeting the accredited investor definition, and would require regulated funds to separately disclose all performance-based compensation paid to advisers.

   Why it matters: The proposed rule expands the circumstances under which investment advisers may collect performance-based fees, affecting regulated funds, accredited investors, and registered investment advisers' compensation structures.

   Eliminating Obsolete Regulations Related to the 911 Grant Program

   The National Telecommunications and Information Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a final rule removing regulations related to the 911 Grant Program, effective October 6, 2026. The agencies determined the program is no longer active, has received no new appropriations, and the obsolete regulations create confusion about grant fund availability.

   Why it matters: The rule eliminates outdated regulatory language to ensure the Code of Federal Regulations remains current and accurate, affecting any parties who might otherwise reference the defunct grant program.
