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 of asset-backed securities (ABS) related form types by registrants whose Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is not 6189; terminate support for the US–GAAP–2014, EXCH– 2014, COUNTRY–2012, and CURRENCY–2012 taxonomies; and allow certain filers to use Inline XBRL in their Related Official Filing, provided that the structured information satisfies all other submission requirements. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support these functionalities on June 13, 2016. DATES: Effective July 1, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Online and the Online Forms/XML Web site. The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume II entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 37 (June 2016). 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 29 For example, 15 U.S.C. 77t(d)(2)(A), after adjusting for inflation as required by the 2015 Act, provides that the amount of the penalty shall not exceed the greater of $8,908 for a natural person or $89,708 for any other person, or the gross amount of pecuniary gain to such defendant as a result of the violation. 1 We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993, with an effective date of April 26, 1993.

Please see https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/ edgartaxonomies.shtml for a complete listing of supported standard taxonomies. Pursuant to a Commission exemptive order issued on June 13, 2016, certain filers will be able to use Inline XBRL in their Related Official Filing for a limited period of time until March of the year 2020, provided that the structured information satisfies all other submission requirements and conditions specified in the order are met. Inline XBRL is a file format permitting both HTML and Interactive Data tags. Instructions for formatting 3 See Release No. 33–10071 in which we implemented EDGAR Release 16.1.

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 and related rules to reflect 
updates to the EDGAR system. The updates are being made primarily to 
support the submission of asset-backed securities (ABS) related form 
types by registrants whose Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 
code is not 6189; terminate support for the US-GAAP-2014, EXCH-2014, 
COUNTRY-2012, and CURRENCY-2012 taxonomies; and allow certain filers to 
use Inline XBRL in their Related Official Filing, provided that the 
structured information satisfies all other submission requirements. The 
EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support these 
functionalities on June 13, 2016.

DATES: Effective July 1, 2016. The incorporation by reference of the 
EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register 
as of July 1, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In the Division of Corporate Finance, 
for questions concerning Asset-Backed Securities related submission 
form types, contact Vik Sheth at (202) 551-3818; and in the Division of 
Economic and Risk Analysis, for questions concerning unsupported 
taxonomies and Inline XBRL, contact Walter Hamscher at (202) 551-5397.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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 25, 2016. See Release No. 33-10071 (May 19, 
2016) [81 FR 31501].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume II 
entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 37 
(June 2016). 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. 33-10071 in which we implemented EDGAR 
Release 16.1. For additional history of Filer Manual rules, please 
see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 16.2 on June 13, 2016 
and will introduce the following changes:
    EDGAR will be updated to allow registrants whose Standard 
Industrial Classification (SIC) code is not 6189 (asset-backed 
securities) to file the following asset-backed securities related 
submission form types:
     SF-1, SF-1/A, SF-3, SF-3/A, SF-3MEF, 424H, 424H/A, ABS-EE, 
ABS-EE/A, 8-K, 8-K/A, 10-D, and 10-D/A.
    The following fields will now be required for all filers submitting 
form types 10-D and 10-D/A and providing Item 6 or attaching an EX-36 
on submission form types 8-K and 8-K/A, irrespective of the filer's SIC 
code:

 Sponsor CIK
 Depositor CIK
 ABS Asset Class

    EDGAR will no longer provide support for the US-GAAP-2014, EXCH-
2014, COUNTRY-2012, and CURRENCY-2012 taxonomies. Please see https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml for a complete listing of 
supported standard taxonomies.
    Pursuant to a Commission exemptive order issued on June 13, 2016, 
certain filers will be able to use Inline XBRL in their Related 
Official Filing for a limited period of time until March of the year 
2020, provided that the structured information satisfies all other 
submission requirements and conditions specified in the order are met. 
Inline XBRL is a file format permitting both HTML and Interactive Data 
tags. Instructions for formatting

[[Page 43048]]

and attaching Inline XBRL documents to EDGAR submissions are described 
in a new subsection 5.2.5 of EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II.
    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.

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 July 1, 2016. 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 
16.2 is scheduled to become available on June 13, 2016. The Commission 
believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after
