Goodbye DUNS Numbers; Hello ??
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 10.04.16
A final rule published September 30 and effective October 31, 2016, removes all references to the DUNS number in the FAR because usage of a proprietary number and organization to meet the government’s identification needs limits competition. The FAR Council did not provide a specific alternative to the DUNS number, instead indicating that OMB and Treasury are taking the lead in considering such alternatives – a process that will include input from the private sector about “nonproprietary” options.

SEC Disbands its Climate and ESG Enforcement Task Force
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reportedly recently dissolved its Climate and ESG Enforcement Task Force (the Task Force). The Task Force was part of SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s broader push to increase investors’ access to environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) information about public companies and registered investment companies. The dissolution of the Climate and ESG Enforcement Task Force comes after three years marked by industry resistance and a mixed record in the courts.

While the Task Force has been dissolved, the SEC is still pursuing a number of its proposed ESG and climate-related rules.
