Some of the amendments correct typographical errors. Others correct erroneous or outdated references; for example, where a Commission rule has been vacated by a court but references to the rule have yet to be removed from other rules and forms. Similarly, some amendments correct out-of-date cross-references, such as where one form's reference to another form has not been updated to reflect a heading change in the latter. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Statutory Authority</HD> We are adopting these technical amendments under the authority set forth in sections 7 and 19(a) of the Securities Act and sections 13 and 23(a) of the Exchange Act. <LSTSUB> <HD SOURCE="HED">List of Subjects in 17 CFR Parts 200, 210, 230, 232, 239, 240, and 249</HD> Administrative practice and procedure, Electronic filing, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Securities. </LSTSUB> <HD SOURCE="HD1">Text of Amendments</HD> For the reasons set forth in the preamble, the Commission amends title 17, chapter II of the Code of Federal Regulations as follows: <HD SOURCE="HED">PART 200—ORGANIZATION; CONDUCT AND ETHICS; AND INFORMATION AND REQUESTS</HD> <REGTEXT TITLE="17" PART="200"> 1.
