Upon completion of the public comment period and consideration of public feedback, the taxonomies will be subject to Commission approval. The availability for public comment of the draft 2023 update to the SEC taxonomies does not indicate Commission approval of any potential regulatory changes.

If needed, transition guidance for the updates to the taxonomies will be posted on the standard taxonomies page at https://www.sec.gov/structureddata/dera_taxonomies.
