Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 1, 2008 / Notices c. Modernizing the Commission’s Disclosure System i. How should the Commission’s disclosure system be modernized? One possibility is a company file system. What alternative systems should be considered? What different or additional benefits might these alternatives provide? ii. How should a modern disclosure system, such as a company file system, be organized, and how could it improve the way disclosure information is submitted and used? iii. What features should any modernized disclosure system provide in order to serve the needs of filers, investors, regulators, and other users of information? Why? iv. Data tagging using XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is one way, but we understand there are other ways to structure data. What alternative ways could be used by companies to submit structured data to the Commission? v. What are the costs and benefits to investors and other market participants of structuring non-financial disclosures, including, for example, data tagging? vi. What time frame would be appropriate for implementing a company file system? vii. What benefits and costs to preparers and users of information would accompany the implementation of modernized disclosure system, such as a company file system, that requires all, or virtually all, data to be filed in a structured format? Would such a system be more useful to some investors, such as small or less sophisticated investors? Would some investors be harmed by such a system? Would larger companies benefit more than smaller companies? Would costs fall disproportionately on one group of companies? viii. Are any changes to the Commission’s disclosure regulations required for a transition to a company file system? How could these changes be identified? Dated: September 26, 2008. By the Commission. Florence E. Harmon, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc.
