Rulemaking for EDGAR System

In order to fully implement the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval ("EDGAR") system, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is making final its interim rules governing mandated electronic filing. These rules will become applicable to all domestic registrants, and third party filers who file with respect to those registrants, as they are phased in pursuant to a modified phase-in schedule. The Commission also is adopting certain technical and clarifying amendments to the EDGAR rules.
