PART 71—DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS The Rule This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by amending Class E airspace for the Horseshoe Bay, TX area. Decommissioning of the Horseshoe Bay Resort NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach at Horseshoe Bay Resort Airport has made this action necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. This action also reflects the name change of the airport from Horseshoe Bay Airpark to Horseshoe Bay Resort Airport. The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends controlled airspace at Horseshoe Bay Resort Airport, Horseshoe Bay, TX. emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71 Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (Air). Adoption of the Amendment In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends 14 CFR part 71 as follows: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Jan 10, 2011 Jkt 223001 1.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: 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 implement the new EDGARLink Online Application which will allow filers to submit EDGARLink submission form types online without the use of the offline EDGARLink Tool, to support the electronic filing of submission form SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 types ABS 15G, ABS 15G/A, a new Form 8–K Item 6.10, and to support minor changes in XBRL validations for filings containing Exhibit 101 attachments. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support this functionality on December 13, 2010. The filer manual is also being revised to address changes previously made in EDGAR to support the electronic filing of new submission form types SC 14N, SC 14N/A, SC 14N–S, SC 14N–S/A, and the new Form 8–K Item 5.08. The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ‘‘General Information,’’ Version 9 (December 2010) and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 16 (December 2010). The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations. DATES: January 11, 2011. The incorporation by reference of the EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of January 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I and 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, EDGARLink Online, and the Online Forms/XML Web site. The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system.

EDGARLink Online can be accessed from the EDGAR Filing Web site (https:// www.edgarfiling.sec.gov), by selecting the ‘‘EDGARLink Online Submissions’’ or by clicking the ‘‘Are you an EDGARLink filer or would you like to create a new Asset-Backed Securities Issuing Entity?’’ link from the EDGAR Portal Web site (https:// www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov). The existing offline EDGARLink Tool and the associated Templates 1–6 will continue to be available. A new chapter, ‘‘Preparing and Transmitting EDGARLink Online Submissions’’, has been added to Volume II of the EDGAR Filer Manual to guide filers through the filing process using the new tool. Submission type ABS 15G 5 and its amendment will be available on EDGARLink Online only. A new 8–K Item 6.10 (Alternative Filings of Asset-Backed Issuers) will be available on EDGARLink Submission Template #3 and EDGARLink Online for submission form types 8–K and 8–K/A. Item 6.10 requires a PDF attachment to be included as Exhibit 99. In addition, the validation rules processed for filings containing EX– 101.INS XBRL documents will be changed to remove restrictions to allow domain items to be abstract and to allow footnoteArc elements to omit the order attribute. The validations were relaxed for EX–101.INS XBRL documents to allow a Discoverable Taxonomy Set (DTS) that has type declarations in any standard international or US namespace, to allow internationally recommended type and role declarations to be used in its DTS, and for documents whose DTS has arc role declarations to allow the 3 See Rule 301 of Regulation S–T (17 CFR 232.301). 4 See Release No. 33–9140 (September 9, 2010) [75 FR 55965] in which we implemented EDGAR Release 10.3.

The filer manual is also being revised to address a changes made previously in EDGAR to support new submission form types SC 14N, SC 14N–S and their amendments on both the offline EDGARLink Template #2 and EDGARLink Online and a new item in Form 8–K Item 5.08 (Shareholder Director Nominations) on both the offline EDGARLink Template #3 and EDGARLink Online for submission form types 8–K, 8–K12B, 8–K12G3, 8–K15D5 and their amendments. However, the use of the SC 14N, SC 14N–S and Form 8–K Item 5.08 is delayed until further notice. See Order Rel. No. 33–9149 (Order Granting Stay) and Rel. No. 33– 9151 (Notice of stay of effective and compliance dates) for more information. 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 1543, 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. 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).6 It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act7 do not apply. The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule amendments is January 11, 2011. In accordance with the APA,8 we find that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these 1515 rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to Release 10.4 is scheduled to become available on December 13, 2010. The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade. Statutory Basis We are adopting the amendments to Regulation S–T under Sections 6, 7, 8, 10, and 19(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,9 Sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23, and 35A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,10 Section 319 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,11 and Sections 8, 30, 31, and 38 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.12 List of Subjects in 17 CFR Part 232 Incorporation by reference, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Securities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau revises its federal regulations on the inmate furlough program primarily to more clearly provide for and define transfer furloughs. Through this change, we also seek to reorganize and clarify the rules, while eliminating language that constitutes agency guidance to staff. Any such guidance language will be retained in the relevant Bureau policy. Also, under this rule, the Bureau is expanding the authority of its Wardens to consider all inmates potentially eligible for non-transfer furloughs, as opposed to the current rule, which limits consideration to inmates with community custody status. A proposed rule on this subject was published on December 6, 2006 (71 FR 70696). We received three comments, which we respond to below. Payment for Urinalysis, Breathalyzer, and Other Comparable Tests Upon Return From Furlough Section 570.38(b)(4) of the proposed rule stated that a furlough will only be approved if an inmate agrees to certain conditions, including the condition that the inmate may ‘‘be thoroughly searched and given a urinalysis, breathalyzer, and other comparable test, during the furlough or upon return to the institution, and must prepay the cost of such test(s) if the inmate or family members are paying the other costs of the furlough.’’ Further, this regulation provides that the inmate ‘‘must preauthorize all testing fee(s) to be withdrawn directly from his/her inmate deposit fund account.’’ One commenter questioned the payment process described in § 570.38. The commenter suggested that the inmate should pay for all potential testing before he/she be ‘‘allowed to leave.’’ This is not practical. Depending on Bureau resources, the inmate’s particular situation, and the particular circumstances surrounding the furlough, it is possible that the inmate will not undergo all of the available testing upon the inmate’s return from furlough. It is therefore unnecessary and impractical to require an inmate to prepay the costs of tests that he/she may not be required to undergo. The commenter then suggested that ‘‘charging an inmate that is on an emergency non-transferral furlough is not reasonable before they be allowed to leave. Postponing their payment until they return seems to be more reasonable.’’ The Bureau agrees with this statement, which is why the regulation PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 requires not that inmates pre-pay, but only that the inmate sign a form preauthorizing payment for testing that will be conducted upon the inmate’s return. For clarity, we have modified that part of the regulation to state that the inmate ‘‘must pre-authorize the cost of such test(s) if the inmate or family members are paying the other costs of the furlough.’’ Conditions Under Which a Furlough May Be Granted One commenter stated that the rule ‘‘does not make clear that inmates in Low, Medium, or High security institutions are categorically ineligible for emergency or other non-transfer furloughs.’’ However, according to the regulation as proposed, ‘‘inmates in Low, Medium, or High security institutions’’ are not ‘‘categorically ineligible for emergency or other non-transfer furloughs,’’ but instead will be considered on a case-bycase basis, in accordance with these regulations and in the Warden’s discretion. § 570.36 specifies the conditions under which a non-transfer furlough may be granted. This section contains a chart which clarifies the eligibility requirements for non-transfer furloughs and describes the types of non-transfer furloughs an inmate may be eligible for, based on the inmate’s length of confinement or time remaining on the inmate’s sentence. The chart has been revised in the final rule for greater clarity and accuracy. This section also describes circumstances under which Wardens will ordinarily deny nontransfer furloughs. Under this rule, the Bureau is expanding the authority of its Wardens to consider all inmates potentially eligible for non-transfer furloughs, as opposed to the current rule, which limits consideration to inmates with community custody status. Community custody, the lowest custody level assigned to an inmate, affords the lowest level of security and staff supervision. The Bureau believes this change is justified by the potential prisoner reentry and rehabilitative benefits to be afforded by a non-transfer furlough. Further, any resulting public safety concerns are adequately addressed by the limitations contained within §§ 570.35(b) and 570.36. Further, § 570.31 describes inmate eligibility for furloughs, and states that sentenced inmates housed in Bureau facilities, pretrial inmates housed in Bureau facilities, and sentenced inmates housed in Bureau facilities and classified as central inmate monitoring cases may be eligible for furloughs.

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 implement the new 
EDGARLink Online Application which will allow filers to submit 
EDGARLink submission form types online without the use of the offline 
EDGARLink Tool, to support the electronic filing of submission form 
types ABS 15G, ABS 15G/A, a new Form 8-K Item 6.10, and to support 
minor changes in XBRL validations for filings containing Exhibit 101 
attachments. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support 
this functionality on December 13, 2010.
    The filer manual is also being revised to address changes 
previously made in EDGAR to support the electronic filing of new 
submission form types SC 14N, SC 14N/A, SC 14N-S, SC 14N-S/A, and the 
new Form 8-K Item 5.08.
    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I 
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version 
9 (December 2010) and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: 
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 16 (December 2010). The updated manual will 
be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: January 11, 2011. The incorporation by reference of the EDGAR 
Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 
January 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer 
Manual, Volume I and 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\, EDGARLink Online, 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 September 15, 2010. See Release No. 33-9140 
(September 9, 2010) [75 FR 55965].
    \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

[[Page 1515]]

to assure the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in 
electronic format.\3\ Filers may 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).
    \4\ See Release No. 33-9140 (September 9, 2010) [75 FR 55965] in 
which we implemented EDGAR Release 10.3. For a additional history of 
Filer Manual rules, please see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 10.4 on December 13, 
2010 and will introduce a new EDGARLink Online Application (EDGARLink 
Online) to allow filers to submit EDGARLink submission form types 
online, without the use of the offline EDGARLink Tool. EDGARLink Online 
can be accessed from the EDGAR Filing Web site (https://www.edgarfiling.sec.gov), by selecting the ``EDGARLink Online 
Submissions'' or by clicking the ``Are you an EDGARLink filer or would 
you like to create a new Asset-Backed Securities Issuing Entity?'' link 
from the EDGAR Portal Web site (https://www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov). 
The existing offline EDGARLink Tool and the associated Templates 1-6 
will continue to be available. A new chapter, ``Preparing and 
Transmitting EDGARLink Online Submissions'', has been added to Volume 
II of the EDGAR Filer Manual to guide filers through the filing process 
using the new tool.
    Submission type ABS 15G \5\ and its amendment will be available on 
EDGARLink Online only.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Proposing Release No. 33-9148, Disclosure for Asset-
Backed Securities Required by Section 943 of the Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A new 8-K Item 6.10 (Alternative Filings of Asset-Backed Issuers) 
will be available on EDGARLink Submission Template 3 and 
EDGARLink Online for submission form types 8-K and 8-K/A. Item 6.10 
requires a PDF attachment to be included as Exhibit 99.
    In addition, the validation rules processed for filings containing 
EX-101.INS XBRL documents will be changed to remove restrictions to 
allow domain items to be abstract and to allow footnoteArc elements to 
omit the order attribute. The validations were relaxed for EX-101.INS 
XBRL documents to allow a Discoverable Taxonomy Set (DTS) that has type 
declarations in any standard international or US namespace, to allow 
internationally recommended type and role declarations to be used in 
its DTS, and for documents whose DTS has arc role declarations to allow 
the link:footnoteArc element to have an arcrole that is either standard 
or is declared in a standard taxonomy schema. Additional validations 
were added for EX-101.INS XBRL documents to require a DTS that has type 
declarations in any standard international or US namespace to enforce 
restrictions on combinations of numeric data types and unit of measure 
declarations according to internationally recommended and US-specific 
data types registry.
    The filer manual is also being revised to address a changes made 
previously in EDGAR to support new submission form types SC 14N, SC 
14N-S and their amendments on both the offline EDGARLink Template 
2 and EDGARLink Online and a new item in Form 8-K Item 5.08 
(Shareholder Director Nominations) on both the offline EDGARLink 
Template 3 and EDGARLink Online for submission form types 8-K, 
8-K12B, 8-K12G3, 8-K15D5 and their amendments. However, the use of the 
SC 14N, SC 14N-S and Form 8-K Item 5.08 is delayed until further 
notice. See Order Rel. No. 33-9149 (Order Granting Stay) and Rel. No.

    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 1543, 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.
    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).\6\ It follows that the requirements 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act\7\ do not apply.

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule 
amendments is January 11, 2011. In accordance with the APA,\8\ 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 10.4 is scheduled to become available on December 13, 2010. The 
Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 
days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the 
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.
