ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) is adopting amendments to Volume II of the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system Filer Manual (‘‘EDGAR Filer Manual’’ or ‘‘Filer Manual’’) and related rules and forms. EDGAR Release 24.3 will be deployed in the EDGAR system on September 16, 2024. DATES: Effective October 22, 2024. The incorporation by reference of the revised Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of October 22, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are adopting an updated Filer Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 71 (September 2024) and amendments to 17 CFR 232.301 (‘‘Rule 301’’). The updated Filer Manual is incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations. I. Background The Filer Manual contains information needed for filers to make submissions on EDGAR. Filers must comply with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic format.1 Filers must consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our rules governing mandated electronic filings when preparing documents for electronic submission. II. EDGAR System Changes and Associated Modifications to Volume II of the Filer Manual EDGAR is being updated in EDGAR Release 24.3 and corresponding amendments to Volume II of the Filer Manual are being made to reflect these changes, as described below.2 Allowance of Co-registrants in a Draft Registration Statement in Certain Circumstances On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted rules related to initial public offerings by special purpose acquisition companies (‘‘SPACs’’) and subsequent business combination transactions between SPACs and private operating companies (‘‘de-SPAC transactions’’).3 Under the rules, the private operating company in a de-SPAC transaction would be, in some instances, a co￾registrant for purposes of the registration statement filed in connection with the de-SPAC transaction. EDGAR will be updated to permit co-registrants in a draft registration submission. Registered Security-Based Swap Execution Facilities’ Chief Compliance Officer Reports and Financial Resource Reports Using Inline XBRL EDGAR will be updated to allow registered security-based swap execution facilities (‘‘SBSEFs’’) to file chief compliance officer reports and financial resource reports using Inline XBRL. Chief compliance officer reports and amendments will be filed as SBSEF–CCO–RPT and SBSEF–CCO– RPT/A submissions, respectively. Quarterly financial resource reports and amendments, and financial resource reports pursuant to Commission requests and amendments will be filed VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:12 Oct 21, 2024 Jkt 265001 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\22OCR1.SGM 22OCR1 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1

Filers may continue to use the Table of Contents which links directly to chapters and topics, and the document search function of this online manual. III. Amendments to Rule 301 of Regulation S–T Along with the adoption of the updated Filer Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of Regulation S–T to provide for the incorporation by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations of the current revisions. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. The updated EDGAR Filer Manual is available at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/ filerinformation/current-edgar-filer￾manual. IV. Administrative Law Matters Because the Filer Manual and rule amendments relate solely to agency procedures or practice and do not substantially alter the rights and obligations of non-agency parties, publication for notice and comment is not required under the Administrative Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’).6 It follows that the amendments do not require analysis under requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act 7 or a report to Congress under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996.8 The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and related rule amendments is October 22, 2024. In accordance with the APA,9 we find that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules. The Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30 days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the related system upgrades. V. Statutory Basis We are adopting the amendments to Regulation S–T under the authority in sections 6, 7, 8, 10, and 19(a) of the Securities Act of 1933,10 sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15B, 23, and 35A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,11 section 319 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939,12 and sections 8, 30, 31, and 38 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.13 List of Subjects in 17 CFR Part 232 Incorporation by reference, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Securities. Text of the Amendments In accordance with the foregoing, title 17, chapter II of the Code of Federal Regulations is amended as follows: PART 232—REGULATION S–T— GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC FILINGS ■ 1. The general authority citation for part 232 continues to read as follows: Authority: 15 U.S.C. 77c, 77f, 77g, 77h, 77j, 77s(a), 77z–3, 77sss(a), 78c(b), 78l, 78m, 78n, 78n–1,78o(d), 78w(a), 78ll, 80a–6(c), 80a–8, 80a–29, 80a–30, 80a–37, 7201 et seq.; and 18 U.S.C. 1350, unless otherwise noted.


■ 2. Section 232.301 is revised to read as follows: § 232.301 EDGAR Filer Manual. Filers must prepare electronic filings in the manner prescribed by the EDGAR Filer Manual, promulgated by the Commission, which sets forth the technical formatting requirements for electronic submissions. The requirements for becoming an EDGAR Filer and updating company data are set forth in the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: ‘‘General Information,’’ Version 41 (December 2022). The requirements for filing on EDGAR are set forth in the updated EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 71 (September 2024). All of these provisions have been incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations, which action was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. You must comply with these requirements in order for documents to be timely received and accepted. The EDGAR Filer Manual is available for inspection at the Commission and at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
