DRAFT EDGAR Form 13F XML Technical Specification (Version 1.1)
Implementation Date: September 23, 2013
This DRAFT EDGAR Form 13F XML Technical Specification (Version 1.1), 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 specification, the SEC retains the right to change any part of the specification before the new system release is made final. In addition, the final Form 13F XML Technical Specification is subject to Commission approval and may be revised before approval or not approved at all. Similarly, the posting of the DRAFT EDGAR Form 13F XML Technical Specification (Version 1.1) does not indicate Commission approval of any pending proposed changes relating to the potential changes reflected in the draft specification. The changes outlined in this draft specification, if approved, are scheduled to take effect on September 23, 2013. The final version of the specification will be made available if approved by the Commission on or about September 23, 2013 on the SEC's Public Website.
On September 23, 2013, EDGAR Release 13.3 will introduce the following changes:
- The maximum number of digits that a filer may enter in the "SOLE", "SHARED", and "NONE" columns in COLUMN 8 of the Information Table for submission form types 13F-HR and 13F-HR/A will be increased from 8 to 16 digits.
