EDGAR Filer Access and Account Management

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is proposing rule and form amendments concerning access to and management of accounts on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) related to potential technical changes to EDGAR (collectively referred to as “EDGAR Next”). We propose to require, among other things, that electronic filers authorize and maintain designated individuals as account administrators and take certain actions to manage their accounts on a dashboard on EDGAR. If the proposed amendments are adopted, the Commission would make corresponding changes to the EDGAR Filer Manual and implement the potential technical changes.
