time.
Documentation only corrections
relating to eXtensible Business
Reporting Language (XBRL) formatting
were made to Chapter 5, ‘‘Constructing

of the EDGAR Filer Manual: Volume II.
On August 29, 2016, EDGAR Release
16.2.4 was updated to include two new
submission form types—N–MFP2 and
N–MFP2/A—to incorporate the
amendments to Form N–MFP adopted
by the Commission on September 16,
2015.
These two new submission form types
will be accepted from the EDGAR Filing
Web site via filer-constructed XML
submissions, as described in the
‘‘EDGAR Form N–MFP2 XML Technical
Specification’’ document available on
the SEC’s Public Web site (https://
www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
EDGAR will only accept TEST
submissions for submission form types

N–MFP2 and N–MFP2/A until October
13, 2016. Beginning on October 14,
2016, submission form types N–MFP2
and N–MFP2/A will be accepted as
LIVE or TEST submissions. After that
date, filers will be prevented from
submitting existing submission form
type N–MFP1 beginning October 14,
2016. Filers will also be prevented from
submitting existing submission form
type N–MFP1/A beginning October 14,
2017.
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/edmanuals.htm. 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 September 30, 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 16.3 is scheduled to become
available on September 19, 2016. 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 these system
upgrades.

with and cause changes in the earth’s
magnetic fields. Reliability Standard
TPL–007–1 requires applicable entities
that do not meet certain performance
requirements, based on the results of
their vulnerability assessments, to
develop a plan to achieve the
requirements. Reliability Standard TPL–
007–1 addresses the directives in Order
No. 779 by requiring applicable BulkPower System owners and operators to
conduct initial and on-going
vulnerability assessments regarding the
potential impact of a benchmark GMD
event on the Bulk-Power System as a
whole and on Bulk-Power System
components.3 In addition, Reliability
Standard TPL–007–1 requires
applicable entities to develop and
implement corrective action plans to
mitigate identified vulnerabilities.4
Potential mitigation strategies identified
in the proposed Reliability Standard
include, but are not limited to, the
installation, modification or removal of
transmission and generation facilities
and associated equipment.5
Accordingly, Reliability Standard TPL–
007–1 constitutes an important step in
addressing the risks posed by GMD
events to the Bulk-Power System.
2. In addition, pursuant to section
215(d)(5) of the FPA, the Commission
directs NERC to develop modifications
to Reliability Standard TPL–007–1: (1)
To revise the benchmark GMD event
definition set forth in Attachment 1 of
Reliability Standard TPL–007–1, as it
pertains to the required GMD
Vulnerability Assessments and
transformer thermal impact
assessments, so that the definition is not
based solely on spatially-averaged data;
(2) to require the collection of necessary
geomagnetically induced current (GIC)
monitoring and magnetometer data and
to make such data publicly available;
and (3) to include a one-year deadline
for the completion of corrective action
plans and two- and four-year deadlines
to complete mitigation actions involving
non-hardware and hardware mitigation,
respectively.6 The Commission directs
NERC to submit these revisions within
18 months of the effective date of this
Final Rule. The Commission also directs
NERC to submit a work plan (GMD
research work plan) within six months
of the effective date of this Final Rule

(September 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. 33-10095 in which we implemented EDGAR
Release 16.2. For additional history of Filer Manual rules, please
see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EDGAR system will be upgraded to Release 16.3 on September 19,
2016 and will introduce the following changes:
[[Page 67119]]
An unregistered money market fund will now be able to file a report
on submission form types N-CR and N-CR/A. When submitting N-CR and N-
CR/A filings, filers that are unregistered money market funds can
optionally provide values for the following fields:
Filer Investment Company Type
Series ID
Class (Contract) ID
ABS-EE Asset Data schemas will be updated to change the date format
from MM/YYYY to MM-DD-YYYY for the following Asset Class Items:
CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(c)(12), First Loan Payment Due Date
Debt Securities Asset Class: Item 5(f)(3), Demand Resolution
Date
In addition, the codes and descriptions referencing CMSA will be
updated to reference CREFC for the following Asset Class Items:
CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(d)(28)(xii), Net Operating Income Net
Cash Flow Securitization Code
CMBS Asset Class: Item 2(d)(28)(xiii), Net Operating Income
Net Cash Flow Code
The ABS-EE Asset Data schemas will also be updated to allow whole
integer numbers in decimal fields. For more information, see the
updated ``EDGAR ABS XML Technical Specification'' document located on
the SEC's Public Web site (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
A Large Trader whose most recent Form 13H submission was a Form
13H-I (Inactive) will now be able to subsequently submit a Form 13H-T
(Termination), regardless of the elapsed time.
Documentation only corrections relating to eXtensible Business
Reporting Language (XBRL) formatting were made to Chapter 5,
``Constructing Attached Documents and Document Types'' and Chapter 6
``Interactive Data'' of the EDGAR Filer Manual: Volume II.
On August 29, 2016, EDGAR Release 16.2.4 was updated to include two
new submission form types--N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A--to incorporate the
amendments to Form N-MFP adopted by the Commission on September 16,
2015.
These two new submission form types will be accepted from the EDGAR
Filing Web site via filer-constructed XML submissions, as described in
the ``EDGAR Form N-MFP2 XML Technical Specification'' document
available on the SEC's Public Web site (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
EDGAR will only accept TEST submissions for submission form types
N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A until October 13, 2016. Beginning on October 14,
2016, submission form types N-MFP2 and N-MFP2/A will be accepted as
LIVE or TEST submissions. After that date, filers will be prevented
from submitting existing submission form type N-MFP1 beginning October
14, 2016. Filers will also be prevented from submitting existing
submission form type N-MFP1/A beginning October 14, 2017.
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/edmanuals.htm. 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 September 30, 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 16.3 is scheduled to become available on September 19, 2016.
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 these system upgrades.

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 24 (December 2015). The requirements for filing
on EDGAR are set forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 38 (September 2016). Additional provisions
applicable to Form N-SAR filers are set forth in the EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume III: ``N-SAR Supplement,'' Version 5 (September 2015).
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. The EDGAR Filer Manual is available
for Web site viewing and printing; the address for the Filer Manual is
https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edmanuals.htm. You can obtain
