Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer
Manual
Securities and Exchange
Commission.
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 and
related rules to reflect updates to the
EDGAR system. The updates are being
made primarily to support the
submission form types for Regulation A.
The EDGAR system is scheduled to be
upgraded to support this functionality
on May 11, 2015.
DATES: Effective May 26, 2015. The
incorporation by reference of the
EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of
May 26, 2015.

The revisions to the Filer Manual
reflect changes within Volume I entitled
EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I:
‘‘General Information,’’ Version 21 (May
2015), and Volume II entitled EDGAR
Filer Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR
Filing,’’ Version 31 (May 2015). The
updated manual will be incorporated by
reference into the Code of Federal
Regulations.
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.2 Filers may consult the Filer
Manual in conjunction with our rules
governing mandated electronic filing
when preparing documents for
electronic submission.3
The EDGAR system will be upgraded
to Release 15.1.1 on May 11, 2015 and
will introduce the following changes:
EDGAR will be updated to add
Regulation A submission form types
DOS, DOS/A, DOSLTR, 1–A, 1–A/A,

1–SA, 1–SA/A, 1–U, 1–U/A, 1–Z,
1–Z/A, 1–Z–W, and 1–Z–W/A.
New filers will now be able to select
the ‘‘Regulation A’’ option on the Form
ID application to indicate that they are
submitting an application for EDGAR
access to file draft offering statements. If
filers have an assigned Central Index
Key (CIK), they must use the existing
CIK to file draft offering statements.
Regulation A submission form types
can be accessed from the ‘‘File
Regulation A Forms’’ screen. This
screen can be accessed by selecting the
‘Regulation A’ or ‘Draft Offering
Statement’ link on the EDGAR Filing
Web site. Alternatively, this screen can
be accessed by selecting the ‘REG A’
link on the ‘‘EDGARLink Online
Submission Type Selection’’ screen.
Issuers who qualify to submit draft
offering statements under Regulation A
must prepare and submit their draft
offering statements using submission
form types DOS and DOS/A. Issuers
must submit correspondences related to
draft offering statements using the
submission type, ‘‘Draft Offering
Statement Letter’’ (DOSLTR).
Issuers who submit draft offering
statements for non-public review will

previously submitted drafts by selecting
the ‘Disseminate Draft Offering

Web site.
Issuers may construct XML
submissions for Regulation A
submission form types with the
exception of DOS, DOS/A, and
DOSLTR. Issuers must follow the
‘‘EDGARLink Online XML Technical
Specification’’ document to construct
XML submissions for submission form
types 1–A–W, 1–A–W/A, 1–SA, 1–SA/

must follow the ‘‘EDGAR REG A XML
Technical Specification’’ document to
construct XML submissions for
submission form types 1–A, 1–A/A,
1–A POS, 1–K, 1–K/A, 1–Z, and 1–Z/A.
The Technical Specification documents
are available on the SEC’s Public Web
site (https://www.sec.gov/info/
edgar.shtml).
Along with the 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.
The updated EDGAR Filer Manual
will be available for Web site viewing
and printing; the address for the Filer
Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/
edgar.shtml. You may also obtain paper
copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual from
the following address: Public Reference
Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20549, on official
business days between the hours of
10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Since the Filer Manual and the
corresponding rule changes relate solely
to agency procedures or practice,
publication for notice and comment is
not required under the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA).4 It follows that
the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act 5 do not apply.
The effective date for the updated
Filer Manual and the rule amendments
is May 26, 2015. In accordance with the
APA,6 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
15.1.1 is scheduled to become available
on May 11, 2015. 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.

We are adopting the amendments to
Regulation S–T under Sections 6, 7, 8,
10, and 19(a) of the Securities Act of
1933,7 Sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23, and

Drawbridge Operation Regulation;
Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach, FL
Coast Guard, DHS.
Temporary final rule.
AGENCY:
The Coast Guard is
temporarily modifying the operating
schedule that governs the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge across Miami Beach
Channel, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
For approximately nine months, the
West Venetian Causeway Bridge will
remain in the open position to complete
necessary repairs. This rule will
temporarily authorize the fulltime
closure of the East Venetian Causeway
Bridge to ensure that vehicular traffic
will be able to access and depart from
the Venetian Causeway while
emergency repairs are completed.
DATES: This temporary final rule is
effective from 7 a.m. on May 26, 2015
to 7 p.m. on February 28, 2016.

The East Venetian Causeway Bridge
connects Rivo Alto Island and the four
Venetian Causeway islands east of
Miami to Belle Isle and Miami Beach,
Florida. The vertical clearance of the
East Venetian Causeway Bridge is five
feet above mean high water and the
horizontal clearance is 57 feet between
fenders.
Emergency repairs are required on
both the East Venetian Causeway Bridge
and the West Venetian Causeway
Bridge. This rule will allow repairs to be
completed on both bridges while
minimizing impacts on vehicular and
waterway traffic.
On August 12, 2014, the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge bridge owner, MiamiDade County, and the Mayor of Miami
Beach requested that the Coast Guard
consider closing the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge to all marine traffic
during repairs to the approach span on
west side of the Venetian Islands. The
roadway leading to the West Venetian
Causeway Bridge will be closed to
vehicular traffic while repairs are
completed on the approach span and
Miami-Dade County will leave the West
Venetian Causeway Bridge in the open
to navigation position. While the West
Venetian Causeway Bridge is in the
open position, vehicles accessing
islands along the Venetian Causeway
will use the East Venetian Causeway
Bridge.
On April 20, 2015, the Coast Guard
was advised that the East Venetian
Bridge experienced an extensive
mechanical breakdown which cannot be
fixed prior to the start of West Venetian
Approach replacement. These repairs
can be completed while the bridge is in
the closed position. However, due to the
extensive repairs required to fix the East
Venetian Bridge, all parties have agreed
to allow the repairs to be completed
after vehicle traffic is restored on the
West Venetian Bridge. This rule will
allow the East Venetian Bridge to
remain closed to navigation until the
repairs to the West Venetian Approach
are completed and vehicle traffic
movement has been restored.

On September 11, 2014, we published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) entitled ‘‘Drawbridge Operation
Regulation; Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach,
FL’’ in the Federal Register (79 FR
54241–54244). We received 13
comments on the proposed rule. No
public meeting was requested, and none
was held.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. This provision authorizes an
agency to make a rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal
Register when the agency for good cause
finds that delaying the effective period
for 30 days or more is ‘‘impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists
for making this rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal
Register because the East Venetian
Causeway Bridge experienced a
mechanical failure that prevents it from
being opened. Therefore, it is
impracticable to make this rule effective
30 days or more after publication in the
Federal Register.

electronic filings through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the
requirements for filing using
[[Page 29943]]
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 April 13, 2015. See Release No. 33-9746 (April 20,
2015) [80 FR 21649].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume I
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ``General Information,'' Version
21 (May 2015), and Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 31 (May 2015). The updated manual will be
incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.
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.\2\ Filers may consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our
rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents for
electronic submission.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
\3\ See Release No. 33-9746 in which we implemented EDGAR
Release 15.1. For additional history of Filer Manual rules, please
see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 15.1.1 on May 11, 2015
and will introduce the following changes:
EDGAR will be updated to add Regulation A submission form types
DOS, DOS/A, DOSLTR, 1-A, 1-A/A, 1-A POS, 1-A-W, 1-A-W/A, 253G1, 253G2,
253G3, 253G4, 1-K, 1-K/A, 1-SA, 1-SA/A, 1-U, 1-U/A, 1-Z, 1-Z/A, 1-Z-W,
and 1-Z-W/A.
New filers will now be able to select the ``Regulation A'' option
on the Form ID application to indicate that they are submitting an
application for EDGAR access to file draft offering statements. If
filers have an assigned Central Index Key (CIK), they must use the
existing CIK to file draft offering statements.
Regulation A submission form types can be accessed from the ``File
Regulation A Forms'' screen. This screen can be accessed by selecting
the `Regulation A' or `Draft Offering Statement' link on the EDGAR
Filing Web site. Alternatively, this screen can be accessed by
selecting the `REG A' link on the ``EDGARLink Online Submission Type
Selection'' screen.
Issuers who qualify to submit draft offering statements under
Regulation A must prepare and submit their draft offering statements
using submission form types DOS and DOS/A. Issuers must submit
correspondences related to draft offering statements using the
submission type, ``Draft Offering Statement Letter'' (DOSLTR).
Issuers who submit draft offering statements for non-public review
will have the ability to publicly disseminate previously submitted
drafts by selecting the `Disseminate Draft Offering Statement' link on
the ``File Regulation A Forms'' screen of the EDGAR Filing Web site.
Issuers may construct XML submissions for Regulation A submission
form types with the exception of DOS, DOS/A, and DOSLTR. Issuers must
follow the ``EDGARLink Online XML Technical Specification'' document to
construct XML submissions for submission form types 1-A-W, 1-A-W/A, 1-
SA, 1-SA/A, 1-U, 1-U/A, 253G1, 253G2, 253G3, 253G4, 1-Z-W, and 1-Z-W/A.
Issuers must follow the ``EDGAR REG A XML Technical Specification''
document to construct XML submissions for submission form types 1-A, 1-
A/A, 1-A POS, 1-K, 1-K/A, 1-Z, and 1-Z/A. The Technical Specification
documents are available on the SEC's Public Web site (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml).
Along with the 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.
The updated EDGAR Filer Manual will be available for Web site
viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may also obtain paper copies of the
EDGAR Filer Manual from the following address: Public Reference Room,
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington,
DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and
3:00 p.m.
Since the Filer Manual and the corresponding rule changes relate
solely to agency procedures or practice, publication for notice and
comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA).\4\ It follows that the requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act \5\ do not apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
\5\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is May 26, 2015. In accordance with the APA,\6\ 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
15.1.1 is scheduled to become available on May 11, 2015. 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.

applicable to Form N-SAR filers are set forth in the EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume III: ``N-SAR Supplement,'' Version 4 (October 2014). All
of these provisions have been incorporated by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations, which action
[[Page 29944]]
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.
