Securities and Exchange Commission February 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR system. The revisions are being made primarily to support a voluntary program that would allow the submission of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) documents to assess the usefulness of data tagging in general and XBRL in particular. Revisions are also being made to provide support for the new requirement for filers to enter an effectiveness date on submission types 485BPOS and 486BPOS; addition of new Exhibit EX-99.Rule23C1 for Form N-CSR and rescinding of submission types N-23C-1 and N-23C-1/A; changes to submission form type 25, which the Commission has proposed to be filed electronically by a national securities exchange to delist and/or deregister a class of securities under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and by an issuer to voluntarily remove a class of securities from listing on a national securities exchange and/or registration under Section 12(b); and the list of Self-Regulatory Organizations in Appendix C section C.1.5 of the EDGAR Release 8.10 EDGARLink Filer Manual has been updated to show the name change of Cincinnati Stock Exchange to National Stock Exchange. The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volumes I, II and III, entitled ``EDGAR Release 8.10 EDGARLink Filer Manual,'' ``EDGAR Release 8.10 N-SAR Supplement Filer Manual,'' and ``EDGAR Release 8.10 OnlineForms Filer Manual'' respectively. The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.
