The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued interpretive guidance on Wednesday, January 27, to require publicly traded companies to disclose the impact on the company's business of climate change or legal developments related to climate change. The interpretive guidance is not itself a rule, but rather the Commission's official interpretation of existing disclosure regulations. (See http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2010/2010-15.htm for the Commission's statement on the interpretive guidance.)
Mr. Holtkamp is the Manager of the Environmental Compliance Group and the Global Climate Change Group at Holland & Hart and resident in the Firm’s Salt Lake City office.
