What the agency says
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is adopting rule and form amendments concerning access to and management of accounts on the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system ("EDGAR") that are related to certain technical changes to EDGAR (collectively referred to as "EDGAR Next"). EDGAR Next will improve the security of EDGAR, enhance filers' ability to manage their EDGAR accounts, and modernize connections to EDGAR. The amendments require electronic filers ("filers") to authorize and maintain designated individuals as account administrators and to take certain actions, through their account administrators, to manage their accounts on EDGAR. Further, pursuant to these amendments, filers may only authorize individuals as account administrators or in the other roles described herein if those individuals first obtain individual account credentials in the manner specified in the EDGAR Filer Manual. As part of the EDGAR Next changes, optional Application Programming Interfaces ("APIs") will be offered to filers for machine-to-machine communication with EDGAR. Moreover, we are amending Volume I of the EDGAR Filer Manual to accord with these changes. Filers will have 12 months from the issuance of this release to transition to EDGAR Next.
