Amendments to Smaller Reporting Company Definition
We are proposing amendments to the definition of ``smaller reporting company'' as used in our rules and regulations. The proposed amendments, which would expand the number of registrants that qualify as smaller reporting companies, are intended to promote capital formation and reduce compliance costs for smaller registrants, while maintaining investor protections. Registrants with less than $250 million in public float would qualify, as would registrants with zero public float if their revenues were below $100 million in the previous year.
Adjustments to Civil Monetary Penalty Amounts
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is adopting an interim final rule to implement the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, which amended the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as previously amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. This interim final rule adjusts for inflation the maximum amount of civil monetary penalties under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and certain penalties under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and related rules to reflect updates to the EDGAR system. The updates are being made primarily to support the submission of asset-backed securities (ABS) related form types by registrants whose Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is not 6189; terminate support for the US-GAAP-2014, EXCH-2014, COUNTRY-2012, and CURRENCY-2012 taxonomies; and allow certain filers to use Inline XBRL in their Related Official Filing, provided that the structured information satisfies all other submission requirements. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support these functionalities on June 13, 2016.
