Securities and Exchange Commission May 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 the amended rules and forms adopted by the Commission to address the registration, disclosure and reporting requirements for asset-backed securities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Revisions are also being made to suspend any submission if any of its attached files are empty, to upgrade the EDGARLink Java Runtime Environment (JRE) from version 1.3 to 1.4.103, and to upgrade the EDGAR Filing Web site, the OnlineForms Web site and the Filer Management Web site to support the latest version of the Netscape browser (Netscape 7.x) and drop support for outdated Netscape 4.0x through 4.7 browsers. The revisions to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volumes I, II and III, entitled ``EDGAR Release 9.0 EDGARLink Filer Manual,'' ``EDGAR Release 9.0 N-SAR Supplement Filer Manual,'' and ``EDGAR Release 9.0 OnlineForms Filer Manual'' respectively. The updated manual will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.
