Dodd-Frank §922 + SEC Rule 21F — Whistleblower Programme

# Dodd-Frank §922 + SEC Rule 21F — Whistleblower Programme — 100% of in-scope requirements covered.

3 requirements · 2 in scope (2 enforced) · 1 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 100% is weighted over the in-scope base.

**Source:** Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Act (codified at 15 U.S.C. §78u-6) and SEC Rules 21F establish the SEC whistleblower programme: the SEC must protect the confidentiality of a whistleblower's identity to the extent possible, the statute prohibits retaliation against a whistleblower, and SEC Rule 21F-17 prohibits any action impeding an individual from communicating directly with the SEC about a possible securities-law violation (including via confidentiality / severance agreements). KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-assisted access to a whistleblower's identity or a consequential case action may PROCEED — on a recorded need-to-know authority, with confidentiality evidence captured, a signed Evidence Pack™, and a contestability record. KYE™ does not assess the securities-law tip on its merits or adjudicate the §922 / Rule 21F claim. · **License:** The Dodd-Frank Act, the United States Code, and SEC rules are US government works in the public domain; KYE™ registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official identifier for mapping purposes only.
