AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange
Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval
System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect
updates to the EDGAR system. The
revisions are being made primarily to
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:03 Jun 10, 2008
Jkt 214001
reflect the United States Department of
Treasury’s Financial Management
Service’s (FMS) designation of U.S.
Bank of St. Louis, Missouri, as the new
Financial Agent for General Lockbox
Services for the Commission. U.S. Bank
assumed this responsibility from Mellon
Bank effective February 4, 2008. In
addition, the revisions include a
modification to the EDGARLite Form
TA–1 (Application for registration as a
transfer agent filed pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
correct the form version number and
Form TA–2 (Annual Report of Transfer
Agent activities filed pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
allow filers to input up to two decimal
places for percentage values in their
response to Question 5(d).
The filer manual is also being revised
to incorporate changes to reflect several
amended rules and forms previously
proposed or adopted by the Commission
and implemented in EDGAR. Those
rules address (1) the electronic
submission on EDGAR of applications
for orders under any section of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and
Regulation E filings of Small Business
Investment Companies (SBIC’s) and
Business Development Companies
(BDC’s) if and when the Commission
might adopt rule changes making these
mandatory electronic submissions and
(2) Smaller Reporting Company
regulatory relief and simplification.
The revisions to the Filer Manual
reflect changes within Volume II
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume
II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 7 (May
2008). The updated manual will be
incorporated by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: June 11, 2008.
The incorporation by reference of the
EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of
June 11, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today we
are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume II. The Filer Manual
describes the technical formatting
requirements for the preparation and
submission of electronic filings through
the EDGAR system.1 It also describes
the requirements for filing using
EDGARLink 2 and the Online Forms/
XML Web site.
The Filer Manual contains all the
technical specifications for filers to
submit filings using the EDGAR system.
Filers must comply with the applicable
provisions of the Filer Manual in order
to assure the timely acceptance and
processing of filings made in electronic
format.3 Filers should consult the Filer
Manual in conjunction with our rules
governing mandated electronic filing
when preparing documents for
electronic submission.4

1, 1993, with an effective date of April 26, 1993.
Release No. 33–6986 (April 1, 1993) [58 FR 18638].

The FMS has designated U.S. Bank of
St. Louis, Missouri, as the new
Financial Agent for General Lockbox
Services for the SEC.5 U.S. Bank has
taken over this responsibility from
Mellon Bank effective February 4, 2008.
EDGAR Release 9.9 was implemented
on February 4, 2008 to make the system
changes necessary to support this
transition. All fee payments (wires and
checks) must be submitted to U.S. Bank
on and after this date. As of February 1,
2008, payments should no longer be
submitted to Mellon Bank. It is not
necessary for filers to have an account
at U.S. Bank to submit fee payments.
For wire payments, the hours of
operation at U.S. Bank are 8:30 a.m.
until 6 p.m. eastern time for wires. U.S.
Bank’s ABA number is 081000210. To
ensure proper credit and prompt filing
acceptance, it is critical to include the
SEC’s account number at U.S. Bank
(152307768324) and the payor’s SECassigned CIK (Central Index Key)
number (also know as the SEC-assigned
registrant or payor account number) in
your wire payment.
To remit your SEC filing fee payment
by certified check, cashier’s check or
money order, you must make them
payable to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, omitting the name or title
of any official of the Commission. On
the front of the check or money order,
you must include the SEC’s account
number (152307768324) and CIK
number of the account to which the fee
is to be applied. You must mail checks
or money orders to the following U.S.
Bank addresses. U.S. Bank does not

check both the SEC’s and FMS’ Web
sites for additional information and
updates.
Also included in EDGAR Release 9.9
were modifications to the EDGARLite
Form TA–1 (Application for registration
as a transfer agent filed pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
correct the form version number and
TA–2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent
activities filed pursuant to the Securities

communicated to the Division of
Trading and Markets that their
percentages are not necessarily whole
numbers, so this modification will help
filers provide more accurate answers to
these questions. Filers must download
the updated EDGARLite TA–1 and TA–
2 Submission Templates from the
EDGAR OnlineForms Web site to ensure
that submissions will be processed
successfully. Previous versions of the
templates will not work properly.
We have recently proposed to amend
Regulation S–T 6 to make mandatory the
electronic submission on EDGAR of
applications for orders under any
section of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 (‘‘Investment Company Act’’)
and Regulation E filings of small
business investment companies and
business development companies.7 We
have updated the EDGAR Filer Manual
to describe the EDGAR electronic filing
submission types that filers would use
for electronic submission on EDGAR if
and when we might adopt these

Revisions were made to support
Smaller Reporting Company regulatory
relief and simplification.8 Specifically,
we added a ‘‘Smaller Reporting

2008; and suspending the filing of the
following submission types: 10KSB and
10KSB/A as of March 16, 2009. Those
filers needing to file amendments to
filings previously submitted on
submission types 10SB12B, 10SB12G,
SB–1, SB–1MEF, SB–2, SB–2MEF,
10QSB, or 10KSB may do so using
submission type 10–12B, 10–12G, S–1,
S–1MEF, S–2, S–2MEF, 10–Q, and 10–
K respectively.
Additional changes to the Filer
Manual are being made to update
obsolete material such as references to
Effective Dates that have already passed
(e.g., S–3ASR Effective 12/1/2005) and
instructions for submitting fees.
The submission templates 1 and 3
were updated to support the
aforementioned EDGARLink submission
type changes in EDGAR Release 9.8. The
new submission types added for
applications for orders under any
section of the Investment Company Act
and Regulation E filings of small
business investment companies and
business development companies
should only be used on EDGAR if and
when we might adopt these proposals.
However, with regard to the
EDGARLink submission type changes
made to support Smaller Reporting
Company regulatory relief and
simplification, filers must download,
install, and use the updated EDGARLink
software and submission templates to
ensure that submissions will be
processed successfully. Previous
versions of the templates will not work
properly. Notice of the update has
previously been provided on the
EDGAR Filing Web site and on the
Commission’s public Web site. The
discrete updates are reflected on the
8 See
Release No. 33–8876 (December 19, 2007).

EDGAR Filing Web site and in the
updated Filer Manual, Volume II. No
EDGARLink software or submission
template changes were made for EDGAR
Release 9.9 implemented on February 4,
2008.
Along with adoption of the Filer
Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of
Regulation S–T to provide for the
incorporation by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations of today’s
revisions. This incorporation by
reference was approved by the Director
of the Federal Register in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
You may obtain paper copies of the
updated Filer Manual at the following
address: Public Reference Room, U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission,
100 F Street, NE., Room 1580,
Washington, DC 20549, on official
business days between the hours of 10
a.m. and 3 p.m. We will post electronic
format copies on the Commission’s Web
site; the address for the Filer Manual is
https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml.
You may also obtain copies from
Thomson Financial, the paper
document contractor for the
Commission, at (800) 638–8241.
Since the Filer Manual relates solely
to agency procedures or practice,
publication for notice and comment is
not required under the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA).9 It follows that
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act 10 do not apply.
The effective date for the updated
Filer Manual and the rule amendments
is June 11, 2008. In accordance with the
APA,11 we find that there is good cause
to establish an effective date less than
30 days after publication of these rules.
The EDGAR system upgrade to Release
9.9 was made available on February 4,
2008. The Commission believes that it is
necessary to align the updated Filer
Manual with the system upgrade.

Roger K. Wiebusch, Bridge
Administrator, (314) 269–2378.
The Union
Pacific Railroad Company requested a
temporary deviation for the Clinton
Railroad Drawbridge, mile 518.0, at
Clinton, Iowa, across the Upper
Mississippi River; to intermittently
remain in the closed-to-navigation
position for periods of up to 1 hour and
30 minutes in duration to facilitate
needed maintenance and repairs. The
Clinton Railroad Drawbridge currently
operates in accordance with 33 CFR
117.5, which states the general
requirement that drawbridges shall open
promptly and fully for the passage of
vessels when a request to open is given
in accordance with the subpart. In order
to facilitate the needed work, the
drawbridge must be kept in the closedto-navigation position. This deviation
allows the bridge to intermittently
remain in the closed-to-navigation
position for periods of up to 1 hour and
30 minutes in duration, from 6 a.m. to
8 p.m., July 1, 2008, through July 8,
2008, and from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., July 16,
2008, through July 22, 2008.
There are no alternate routes for
vessels transiting this section of the
Upper Mississippi River.
The Clinton Railroad Drawbridge, in
the closed-to-navigation position,
provides a vertical clearance of 18.7 feet
above normal pool. Navigation on the
waterway consists primarily of
commercial tows and recreational
watercraft. This temporary deviation has
been coordinated with waterway users.
No objections were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge shall return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

Regulatory Information
We did not publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this
regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds
that good cause exists for not publishing
an NPRM and for making this rule
effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. The
emergent and dynamic nature of the
event did not allow previous notice.
Publishing a NPRM would be contrary

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
17 CFR Part 232
[Release Nos. 33-8922; 34-57888; 39-2454; IC-28292]
Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR
system. The revisions are being made primarily to reflect the United
States Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service's (FMS)
designation of U.S. Bank of St. Louis, Missouri, as the new Financial
Agent for General Lockbox Services for the Commission. U.S. Bank
assumed this responsibility from Mellon Bank effective February 4,
2008. In addition, the revisions include a modification to the
EDGARLite Form TA-1 (Application for registration as a transfer agent
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to correct the
form version number and Form TA-2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent
activities filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
allow filers to input up to two decimal places for percentage values in
their response to Question 5(d).
The filer manual is also being revised to incorporate changes to
reflect several amended rules and forms previously proposed or adopted
by the Commission and implemented in EDGAR. Those rules address (1) the
electronic submission on EDGAR of applications for orders under any
section of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Regulation E filings
of Small Business Investment Companies (SBIC's) and Business
Development Companies (BDC's) if and when the Commission might adopt
rule changes making these mandatory electronic submissions and (2)
Smaller Reporting Company regulatory relief and simplification.
The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume II
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 7
(May 2008). The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into
the Code of Federal Regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: June 11, 2008. The incorporation by reference of
the EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of June 11, 2008.

Technology, Rick Heroux, at (202) 551-8800; in the Office of Financial
Management, for questions concerning the change in financial agents,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today we are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume II. The Filer Manual describes the technical formatting
requirements for the preparation and submission of electronic filings
through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the requirements for
filing using EDGARLink \2\ and the Online Forms/XML Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on August 20, 2007. See Release No. 33-8834 (August 15,
2007) [72 FR 46559].
\2\ This is the filer assistance software. We provide filers
filing on the EDGAR system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\3\ Filers should consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with
our rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents
for electronic submission.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).

The FMS has designated U.S. Bank of St. Louis, Missouri, as the new
Financial Agent for General Lockbox Services for the SEC.\5\ U.S. Bank
has taken over this responsibility from Mellon Bank effective February
4, 2008. EDGAR Release 9.9 was implemented on February 4, 2008 to make
the system changes necessary to support this transition. All fee
payments (wires and checks) must be submitted to U.S. Bank on and after
this date. As of February 1, 2008, payments should no longer be
submitted to Mellon Bank. It is not necessary for filers to have an
account at U.S. Bank to submit fee payments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Release No. 33-8885 (January 29, 2008) (Amendment of
Procedures for Payment of Fees).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For wire payments, the hours of operation at U.S. Bank are 8:30
a.m. until 6 p.m. eastern time for wires. U.S. Bank's ABA number is
081000210. To ensure proper credit and prompt filing acceptance, it is
critical to include the SEC's account number at U.S. Bank
(152307768324) and the payor's SEC-assigned CIK (Central Index Key)
number (also know as the SEC-assigned registrant or payor account
number) in your wire payment.
To remit your SEC filing fee payment by certified check, cashier's
check or money order, you must make them payable to the Securities and
Exchange Commission, omitting the name or title of any official of the
Commission. On the front of the check or money order, you must include
the SEC's account number (152307768324) and CIK number of the account
to which the fee is to be applied. You must mail checks or money orders
to the following U.S. Bank addresses. U.S. Bank does not support walk-
in deliveries by individuals.
For USPS remittances, they MUST be sent to the following PO Box
address.
Securities & Exchange Commission, P.O. Box 979081, St. Louis, MO
63197-9000.
The following address can be used for common carriers such as
FedEx, Airborne, DHL, and UPS.
U.S. Bank, Government Lockbox 979081, 1005 Convention Plaza, SL-MO-
C2-GL, St. Louis, MO 63101.
For complete details regarding how to remit wire and check payment,
please refer to the SEC's ``Instructions for Wire Transfer (FEDWIRE)
and Check Payment of SEC Filing Fees'' (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/
fedwire.htm) on our ``Information for EDGAR Filers'' Web page. Filers
should periodically check both the SEC's and FMS' Web sites for
additional information and updates.
Also included in EDGAR Release 9.9 were modifications to the
EDGARLite Form TA-1 (Application for registration as a transfer agent
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to correct the
form version number and TA-2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent
activities filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
allow filers to input up to two decimal places for percentage values in
their response to Question 5(d) (5(d)(i) Corporate Equity Securities,
5(d)(ii) Corporate Debt Securities, 5(d)(iii) Open-Ended Investment
Company Securities, 5(d)(iv) Limited Partnership Securities, 5(d)(v)
Municipal Debt Securities, 5(d)(vi) Other Securities). Filers have
communicated to the Division of Trading and Markets that their
percentages are not necessarily whole numbers, so this modification
will help filers provide more accurate answers to these questions.
Filers must download the updated EDGARLite TA-1 and TA-2 Submission
Templates from the EDGAR OnlineForms Web site to ensure that
submissions will be processed successfully. Previous versions of the
templates will not work properly.
We have recently proposed to amend Regulation S-T \6\ to make
mandatory the electronic submission on EDGAR of applications for orders
under any section of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment
Company Act'') and Regulation E filings of small business investment
companies and business development companies.\7\ We have updated the
EDGAR Filer Manual to describe the EDGAR electronic filing submission
types that filers would use for electronic submission on EDGAR if and
when we might adopt these proposals. The submission types are as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 17 CFR 232.
\7\ See Release No. 33-8859 (November 1, 2007) [72 FR 63513]
(Rulemaking for EDGAR System; Mandatory Electronic Submission of
Applications for Orders under the Investment Company Act and Filings
Made Pursuant to Regulation E--proposing release).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with applications for orders under the
Investment Company Act,
40-OIP (Application under the Investment Company Act

submission types 40-APP, 40-OIP, or 40-6B, as appropriate.
[[Page 33004]]
Similarly, the following new paper submission types, 1-E AD and 1-E
AD/A, were added.
Revisions were made to support Smaller Reporting Company regulatory
relief and simplification.\8\ Specifically, we added a ``Smaller
Reporting Company'' indicator to the header of submission types: 10-K,
10-K/A, 10-KT, 10-KT/A, 10-Q, 10-Q/A, 10-QT, 10-QT/A, S-1, S-1/A, S-

10-12G, and 10-12G/A; suspending the filing of the following submission
types: 10SB12B, 10SB12B/A, 10SB12G, 10SB12G/A, SB-1, SB-1/A, SB-1MEF,
SB-2, SB-2/A, and SB-2MEF as of February 4, 2008; suspending the filing

amendments to filings previously submitted on submission types 10SB12B,
10SB12G, SB-1, SB-1MEF, SB-2, SB-2MEF, 10QSB, or 10KSB may do so using
submission type 10-12B, 10-12G, S-1, S-1MEF, S-2, S-2MEF, 10-Q, and 10-
K respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Release No. 33-8876 (December 19, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional changes to the Filer Manual are being made to update
obsolete material such as references to Effective Dates that have
already passed (e.g., S-3ASR Effective 12/1/2005) and instructions for
submitting fees.
The submission templates 1 and 3 were updated to support the
aforementioned EDGARLink submission type changes in EDGAR Release 9.8.
The new submission types added for applications for orders under any
section of the Investment Company Act and Regulation E filings of small
business investment companies and business development companies should
only be used on EDGAR if and when we might adopt these proposals.
However, with regard to the EDGARLink submission type changes made to
support Smaller Reporting Company regulatory relief and simplification,
filers must download, install, and use the updated EDGARLink software
and submission templates to ensure that submissions will be processed
successfully. Previous versions of the templates will not work
properly. Notice of the update has previously been provided on the
EDGAR Filing Web site and on the Commission's public Web site. The
discrete updates are reflected on the EDGAR Filing Web site and in the
updated Filer Manual, Volume II. No EDGARLink software or submission
template changes were made for EDGAR Release 9.9 implemented on
February 4, 2008.
Along with adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule 301
of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference into
the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
You may obtain paper copies of the updated Filer Manual at the
following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Room 1580, Washington, DC 20549, on
official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We will
post electronic format copies on the Commission's Web site; the address
for the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may
also obtain copies from Thomson Financial, the paper document
contractor for the Commission, at (800) 638-8241.
Since the Filer Manual relates solely to agency procedures or
practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA).\9\ It follows that the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act \10\ do not apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
\10\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is June 11, 2008. In accordance with the APA,\11\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 9.9 was made available on February 4, 2008. The Commission
believes that it is necessary to align the updated Filer Manual with
the system upgrade.

Sec. 232.301 EDGAR Filer Manual.
Filers must prepare electronic filings in the manner prescribed by
the EDGAR Filer Manual, promulgated by the Commission, which sets out
the technical formatting requirements for electronic submissions. The
requirements for becoming an EDGAR Filer and updating company data are
set forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General
Information,'' Version 4 (August 2007). The requirements for filing on
EDGAR are set forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 7 (May 2008). Additional provisions
applicable to Form N-SAR filers are set forth in the EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume III: ``N-SAR Supplement,'' Version 1 (September 2005).
All of these provisions have been incorporated by reference into the
Code of Federal Regulations, which action was approved by the Director
of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR
part 51. You must comply with these requirements in order for documents
to be timely received and accepted. You can obtain paper copies of the
