If approved, the revised Manual will introduce the following changes:
The Form ID Application Confirmation screen will display four additional labels:
Signature of Authorized Person;
Printed Name of Signature;
Title of Person Signing; and
Notary Signature & Seal to be Placed Here.
The screen will also be updated to include a button to print the completed online Form ID application. The printed application can be signed and notarized by the filer to serve as the authentication document when applying for EDGAR access.
All references to the paper Form ID will be removed.
EDGAR will be updated to add new submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A and SDR-W. Applicants may construct XML submissions for these submission types by following the EDGAR SDR XML Technical Specification document.
Submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A and SDR-W will include a check box where applicants can request confidential treatment.
If the drafts are approved, the changes to EDGAR will be implemented on April 13, 2015.
In addition, the following changes were introduced on March 9, 2015:
EDGAR was updated to support the US GAAP 2015 Taxonomy.
Item 1 on submission type MA-A was updated to add a new question.
