Overview

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 make available a new exhibit type EX-1.01 and disallow Exhibit type EX- 1.02 on EDGARLink Online for submission form types SD and SD/A, to implement the "Calendar Year Ending' value validation rule for form type 13H-A, to require Transfer Agents with file numbers in the range 085-15000 to 085-19999 to select "Comptroller of the Currency' as the registrant's appropriate regulatory agency on Form TA-2 and its amendment, and to update the EDGAR Portal to include a new option, "Do you need more information?' that links to the `Guidance for Filers and FAQs' section on the SEC's Public Web site (www.sec.gov). The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support this functionality on December 15, 2014.
