requirements for filing using
EDGARLink Online and the Online
Forms/XML Web site.
The revisions to the Filer Manual
reflect changes within Volume I entitled
EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I:
‘‘General Information,’’ Version 26
(January 2017), Volume II entitled
EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 40 (January
2017), and Volume III: ‘‘N–SAR
Supplement’’, Version 6 (January 2017).
The updated manual will be
incorporated by reference into the Code

The Filer Manual contains all the
technical specifications for filers to

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

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 25 / Wednesday, February 8, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
The EDGAR system will be upgraded
to Release 17.0.2 on January 30, 2017
and will introduce the following
changes:
EDGAR will be upgraded with an
enhanced authentication process to
increase the security surrounding a
filer’s request for a passphrase update.
This includes the issuance of a one-time
security token which will be emailed to
the registrant at the email address on
record. If the email on record is not
valid, the filer will need to provide
authorization to have their codes reset,
and in the case of a company, the
request must be on company letterhead.
If a Power of Attorney (POA) is
provided, it must be manually signed.
For more information, please refer to
Section 4.1.1 of ‘‘EDGAR Filer Manual
Volume I: General Information’’.
Filers will have the option to add one
or more attachments of type ‘‘FULL’’ to
submission form types X–17A–5 and X–
17A–5/A, which can be designated as
‘‘Public’’ or ‘‘Confidential.’’ If a ‘‘FULL’’
attachment designated as ‘‘Public’’ is
attached, then all other attachment
types are optional.
The EDGAR Portal, EDGAR Company
Database, and the landing pages for all
EDGAR Web sites will be updated to
remove any reference to Internet
Explorer (IE) 8.0 and Firefox version
24.x, and to update the language so that
vendor supported versions of IE and
Google Chrome are the recommended
browsers. The references to Internet
Explorer 8.0 and Firefox 24.x will be
deleted in ‘‘EDGAR Filer Manual,
Volume I: General Information,’’
‘‘EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II:
EDGAR Filing,’’ and ‘‘EDGAR Filer
Manual: Volume III: N–SAR
Supplement.’’
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/

obtain paper copies of the EDGAR Filer
Manual from the following address:

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 February 8, 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 17.0.2 is scheduled to become
available on January 30, 2017. 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.
