Draft EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume III) N-SAR Supplement (Version 6)
Implementation Date: January 2017
This draft Filer Manual, posted before Commission approval of potential regulatory changes in this release, is provided as a service to our filing community to assist filers, agents, and software developers in their preparation of responses to potential changes the staff anticipates. Since this is a draft manual, the SEC retains the right to change any part of the manual before the new system release is made final. In addition, the final EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume III) (Version 6) is subject to Commission approval and may be revised before approval or not approved at all. Similarly, the posting of the draft manual does not indicate Commission approval of any pending proposed changes relating to the potential changes reflected in the draft manual. The changes outlined in this draft manual, if approved, are scheduled to take effect on January 30, 2017 for non-rule based changes or on the rule effective date for changes related to SEC rules. See SEC Final Rules posted on the SEC’s Public Website for information on the rule effective date. The final version of the manual will be made available, if approved by the Commission, on or about January 30, 2017 on the SEC’s Public Website.
Changes to the Draft EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume III) N-SAR Supplement (Version 6) are being made to update the filer manual to reflect changes scheduled to be implemented on January 30, 2017.
