The SEC is comprised of a Chairman, four Commissioners, and a workforce of approximately 4,000 employees distributed across the United States. See http://www.sec.gov/about/concise.shtml.

Such barrier analysis report should include, among other things, a description of the methodology, any quantitative and qualitative analysis, recommendations and/or best practices in order to eliminate any barriers. In addition, a description of agency analyzed (e.g. brief description and number of employees of the agency or part of the agency analyzed). The "report" may be redacted for privacy concerns.
