Securities and Exchange Commission March 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is adopting an interim final rule that will require reports on Form N-PORT for each month in a fiscal quarter to be filed with the Commission not later than 60 days after the end of that fiscal quarter (as opposed to filing each monthly report no later than 30 days after the end of each month). The monthly report on Form N-PORT for the third month of the quarter (the ``quarter-end report'') will continue to become publicly available (i.e., all portions of the quarter-end report, with the exception of the items identified in General Instruction F of Form N- PORT, will be made public upon filing). The monthly reports on Form N- PORT for the first and second months of the fiscal quarter will remain non-public. We are also amending our regulations and Form N-PORT to require that funds, no later than 30 days after the end of each month, maintain in their records the information that is required to be included in Form N-PORT. Registrants will promptly make such records available to the Commission upon request. Finally, we are amending Form N-LIQUID to provide for a voluntary explanatory notes section. Importantly, these amendments in no way affect the amount or timing of the information that will be made available to the public.
