The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and related rules to reflect updates to the EDGAR system. The updates are being made to add two new Security-based Swap Data Repository (SDR) submission form types; make available new exhibit EX-36 (Depositor Certification for shelf offerings of asset-backed securities) on EDGARLink Online for submission form types SF-3, SF-3/A, 8-K, and 8-K/A; accept Exhibit K and Exhibit L in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format for submission form types SDR, SDR/A, SDR-A, and SDR-W; consider valid XBRL file attachments if they contain multiple identically tagged XBRL facts; make documentation updates to Chapter 2 of the ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: General Information'' and Chapters 2, 3, and 7 of the ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'' relating to Form NRSRO; and make formatting changes to ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: General Information'', ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: EDGAR Filing'', and ``EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume III: N-SAR Supplement'' for compliance with Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act. The Filer Manual is also being revised to address software changes made previously in EDGAR. On July 10, 2015, Regulation A submission form types DOS, DOS/A, 1-A, 1-A/A, and 1-A POS were updated to prevent a filer from entering a response in Item 6(d) when the ``None'' option has been selected on Item 6. The EDGAR system is scheduled to be upgraded to support this functionality on September 14, 2015.
