Electronic Submission of Certain Materials Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Amendments Regarding the FOCUS Report

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued final rules requiring the electronic filing or submission of certain forms and materials via the EDGAR system by self-regulatory organizations, clearing agencies, broker-dealers, and security-based swap entities. The amendments mandate the use of structured data where appropriate, require public posting of specific SRO rule change information on websites, and remove manual signature requirements for certain filings. Additionally, the Commission harmonized and modernized the Financial and Operational Combined Uniform Single Report while allowing electronic signatures in related broker-dealer filings.
