Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 13 / Monday, January 23, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 39 (December
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
The EDGAR system will be upgraded
to Release 16.4 on December 12, 2016
and will introduce the following
changes:
Filers will be able to submit the
Municipal Advisor submission form
types MA, MA–A, MA/A, MA–I, MA–I/
A, and MA–W in filer-constructed XML
format from the EDGAR Filing Web site.
For more information, see the ‘‘EDGAR
Form MA XML Technical
Specification’’ document available on
the SEC’s Public Web site (https://
www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
Filers will be able to provide up to
200 owners instead of 50 owners for
Schedules A–1, A–2, B–1, and B–2
within MA, MA–A, and MA/A
submissions (Schedules A–1, A–2, B–1,
and B–2 are amended via Schedule C for
MA–A and MA/A submissions).
EDGAR will be upgraded to allow an
entity with any Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) code value or no
value (NULL) to request the creation of
ABS Issuing Entities.
EDGAR will be updated to allow
duplicate submissions for ABS–EE.
EDGARLink Online will be updated
for ABS–EE and ABS–EE/A submissions
such that non-existent CIKs will be
flagged as errors during header data
entry instead of after the submission has
been sent and processed by EDGAR.
The ABS–EE Asset Data schema will
be updated to introduce the following
Asset Class Item with date format MM/
YYYY:
• RMBS ABS Asset Class: Item
1(c)(13)(vi), Most Senior Lien
Origination Date
In addition, the ABS–EE Asset Data
schema will be updated to change the
following Asset Class Item from an
integer value to a percentage value:
2 See Rule 301 of Regulation S–T (17 CFR
232.301).
3 See Release No. 33–10217 in which we
implemented EDGAR Release 16.3. For additional
history of Filer Manual rules, please see the

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).
EDGAR will transform word
expressions for numbers, dates, and
word or symbol expressions for QNames
and nil expressions into their respective
XML representations in Inline XBRL
submissions. Filers will be able to
provide typed dimensions in XBRL
submissions. In addition, the following
HTML tags will be usable in traditional
XBRL documents: , ,
, and .
All ASCII character validations will
be removed for broker-dealer entity
name fields on submission form types
17HACON, 17HACON/A, 17HQCON,
and 17HQCON/A. Broker-dealers now
will be able to submit the
aforementioned filings, irrespective of
the ASCII characters in the brokerdealer entity name.
Filers will be able to shift the order
of the uploaded documents, and
simultaneously select/de-select all
uploaded documents on the ‘‘Attach
Documents List’’ screen for the
Regulation A submission form types
DOS, DOS/A, 1–A, 1–A/A, 1–A POS, 1–
K, and 1–K/A.
On October 31, 2016, the EDGAR
system was upgraded to Release 16.3.3
and now supports the following
changes:
The ABS–EE CMBS Asset Class Item
2(e)(17), ‘‘Payment Status Loan Code’’
associated types were updated to
include the value ‘‘0’’ for loan payment
status of ‘‘Current’’. For more
information, see section 4.3.20 of the
updated ‘‘EDGAR ABS XML Technical
Specification’’ document located on the
SEC’s Public Web site (https://
www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
The maximum allowable submission
size for form types ABS–EE and ABS–
EE/A was increased to 600 MB.
EDGAR was updated to remove the
timeliness rule check, and to no longer
verify if the submission form types NT
10–K, NTN 10K, NT 10–Q, NTN 10Q,
NT 15D2, NTN15D2, NT 10–D, NTN
10D, NT 20–F, and NTN 20F were
submitted before the filing deadline.
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.

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 January 23, 2017. 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 16.4 is scheduled to become
available on December 12, 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.

DELAWARE RIVER BASIN
COMMISSION
Jkt 241001
The Delaware River Basin
Commission published a document in
the Federal Register on December 29,
2016 (81 FR 95860), in relevant part
amending the Rules of Practice and
Procedure. The document failed to
include rule text approved by the
Commission relating to the annual
monitoring and coordination fee. This
document corrects the final regulations
by incorporating the approved language.
In addition, this document corrects the
preamble to clarify that in adopting the
final rule, the Commission acted by
Resolution No. 2016–9, not 2016–8.
DATES: This final rule is effective
January 23, 2017.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pamela M. Bush, Commission Secretary
and Assistant General Counsel, 609–
477–7203.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. When the Commission
adopted Resolution No. 2016–9, in
relevant part approving amendments to
the Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR part 401) concerning regulatory
program fees, it approved rule language
to expressly exclude from the
calculation of the annual monitoring
and coordination fee all water for which
an entitlement issued pursuant to the
Basin Regulations—Water Supply
Charges (18 CFR part 420) is in effect.
Final rule documents posted on the
Commission’s Web site included the
approved language, but the language
was inadvertently omitted from DRBC’s
Federal Register submission and thus
from the CFR.
In addition, the preamble to the final
rule published in the Federal Register
incorrectly referred to the Commission’s
rule adoption resolution as number
2016–8, when the resolution was
number 2016–9.

EDGAR will be upgraded to allow an entity with any Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) code value or no value (NULL) to
request the creation of ABS Issuing Entities.
EDGAR will be updated to allow duplicate submissions for ABS-EE.
EDGARLink Online will be updated for ABS-EE and ABS-EE/A
submissions such that non-existent CIKs will be flagged as errors
during header data entry instead of after the submission has been sent
and processed by EDGAR.
The ABS-EE Asset Data schema will be updated to introduce the
following Asset Class Item with date format MM/YYYY:
RMBS ABS Asset Class: Item 1(c)(13)(vi), Most Senior Lien
Origination Date
In addition, the ABS-EE Asset Data schema will be updated to change
the following Asset Class Item from an integer value to a percentage
value:
CMBS ABS Asset Class: Item 2(c)(28)(iv), ARM Margin Number
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).
EDGAR will transform word expressions for numbers, dates, and word
or symbol expressions for QNames and nil expressions into their
respective XML representations in Inline XBRL submissions. Filers will
be able to provide typed dimensions in XBRL submissions. In addition,
the following HTML tags will be usable in traditional XBRL documents:
, , , and .
All ASCII character validations will be removed for broker-dealer
entity name fields on submission form types 17HACON, 17HACON/A,
17HQCON, and 17HQCON/A. Broker-dealers now will be able to submit the
aforementioned filings, irrespective of the ASCII characters in the
broker-dealer entity name.
Filers will be able to shift the order of the uploaded documents,
and simultaneously select/de-select all uploaded documents on the
``Attach Documents List'' screen for the Regulation A submission form
types DOS, DOS/A, 1-A, 1-A/A, 1-A POS, 1-K, and 1-K/A.
On October 31, 2016, the EDGAR system was upgraded to Release
16.3.3 and now supports the following changes:
The ABS-EE CMBS Asset Class Item 2(e)(17), ``Payment Status Loan
Code'' associated types were updated to include the value ``0'' for
loan payment status of ``Current''. For more information, see section
4.3.20 of the updated ``EDGAR ABS XML Technical Specification''
document located on the SEC's Public Web site (https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/tech-specs).
The maximum allowable submission size for form types ABS-EE and
ABS-EE/A was increased to 600 MB.
EDGAR was updated to remove the timeliness rule check, and to no
longer verify if the submission form types NT 10-K, NTN 10K, NT 10-Q,
NTN 10Q, NT 15D2, NTN15D2, NT 10-D, NTN 10D, NT 20-F, and NTN 20F were
submitted before the filing deadline.
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 January 23, 2017. 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 16.4 is scheduled to become available on December 12, 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

Information,'' Version 25 (December 2016). The requirements for filing
on EDGAR are set forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:

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
