On September 19, 2016, EDGAR Release 16.3  introduced the following changes:

• An unregistered money market fund will now be able to file a report on submission form types N-CR and N-CR/A. When submitting N-CR and N-CR/A filings, filers that are unregistered money market funds can optionally provide values for the following fields:
  • Filer Investment Company Type
  • Series ID
  • Class (Contract) ID
• ABS-EE Asset Data schemas will be updated to change the date format from MM/YYYY to MM-DD-YYYY for the following Asset Class Items:
  • CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(c)(12), First Loan Payment Due Date
  • Debt Securities Asset Class: Item 5(f)(3), Demand Resolution Date
In addition, the codes and descriptions referencing CMSA will be updated to reference CREFC for the following Asset Class Items:
• CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(d)(28)(xii), Net Operating Income Net Cash Flow Securitization Code
• CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(d)(28)(xiii), Net Operating Income Net Cash Flow Code
The ABS-EE Asset Data schemas will also be updated to allow whole integer numbers in decimal fields.
 
For more information, see the updated “EDGAR ABS XML Technical Specification” document located on the SEC’s Public Website (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
• A Large Trader whose most recent 13H submission was a 13H-I (Inactive) will be able to subsequently submit a 13H-T (Termination), regardless of the elapsed time.
• On August 29, 2016, the EDGAR system was upgraded to Release 16.2.4 to include two new submission form types – N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A – to incorporate the amendments to Form N-MFP adopted by the Commission on September 16, 2015.
   
  Filers will construct their submissions using the “EDGAR Form N-MFP2 XML Technical Specification” document located on the SEC’s Public Website (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
   
  Following Release 16.2.4, filers currently are allowed to make only TEST N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A filings.  Starting on the October 14, 2016 compliance date for the form amendments, EDGAR will begin accepting LIVE N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A filings and will prevent filers from submitting existing submission form type N-MFP1.  Filers will further be prevented from submitting submission form type N-MFP1/A beginning on October 14, 2017
