SEC & Other Agencies Resume "Normal Operations"

The stopgap spending bill signed by President Trump on Friday, which reopens the government for three weeks, prompted this Statement on Saturday from Chair Clayton on the SEC's recommencement of normal operations. 

Notably, his Statement acknowledges a ramp-up period:
Our approximately 4,500 employees are now returning to their posts in our Washington, D.C. home office and our 11 regional offices. The leaders of our Divisions and Offices, in consultation with various members of our staff, are continuing to assess how to most effectively transition to normal operations. Certain of these Divisions and Offices, including our Divisions of Corporation Finance, Trading and Markets, Investment Management and our Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, will be publishing statements in the coming days regarding their transition plans.

These statements regarding our transition to normal operations will be available at www.sec.gov.
