EDGAR Release 23.3
On September 18, 2023 EDGAR Release 23.3 will introduce the following changes:
- Appendix C to Vol. II of the EDGAR Filer Manual will be truncated, with the removed content posted at www.sec.gov as a new webpage titled "How Do I Understand EDGARLink Online Submission Types?"
- The wording displayed on EDGAR for Item E.3.e of Form N-CEN will be corrected to match the legal form. The wording will be corrected on the online application for Form N-CEN, on prior disseminated filings rendered on www.sec.gov, and in relevant portions of the Filer Manual. Additionally, Item E.3.a of Form N-CEN will be updated to provide filers space to report a second value, if necessary, for the number of shares needed to form a creation unit.
- EDGAR will be updated to make Form N-CR a structured XML filing and to introduce new submission types for Form N-MFP: N-MFP3 and N-MFP3/A. See Release 33-11211, Money Market Fund Reforms; Form PF Reporting Requirements for Large Liquidity Fund Advisers; Technical Amendments to Form N-CSR and Form N-1A, adopted June 12, 2023. This release introduces a pilot phase for filing the revised versions of Forms N-CR and N-MFP with the following features.
- Submission types N-CR and N-CR/A may be filed using the new online form available on the EDGAR Filing website (see Chapter 8 of the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II) or constructed by filers according to the new "EDGAR Form N-CR XML Technical Specification" document available on https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information/current-edgar-technical-specifications.
- Submission types N-MFP3 and N-MFP3/A may only be constructed by filers according to the new "EDGAR Form N-MFP3 XML Technical Specification" document available on https://www.sec.gov/edgar/filer-information/current-edgar-technical-specifications.
- Until June 11, 2024, new submission types N-MFP3, N-MFP3/A and the XML version of Form N-CR will be available as test filings only. As with all test filings, testers are strongly encouraged to create and submit fictional data.
- Starting June 11, 2024, new submission types N-MFP3, N-MFP3/A and the XML version of Form N-CR will be available as both test and live filings. In addition, Form N-CR filers will no longer be able to file using EDGARLink Online and Form N-MFP filers will no longer be able to submit N-MFP2. N-MFP2/A will continue to be available for amendments to prior filings.
- EDGAR will be updated to make the "DocumentPeriodEndDate" data field optional for the following submission types:
- DEF 14A, DEF 14C, PRE 14A, PRE 14C, PREM14A, PREM14C
- Refer EFM Vol II, Section 6.5.20
- EDGAR will be updated to support a new taxonomy, SHR/2023. This will allow filers to comply with "Share Repurchase Disclosure Modernization" rule. As part of this, EDGAR will accept new Form F-SR (submission types F-SR and F-SR/A) and a new iXBRL exhibit (EX-26). Refer to EDGAR Filer Manual Vol II for additional details.
