(June 16, 2025)
Release 25.2: On June 16, 2025, EDGAR Release 25.2 introduced the following changes:
• | On August 28, 2024, the Commission adopted Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN Reporting; Guidance on Open-End Fund Liquidity Risk Management Programs (IC-35308). The following changes will be made to the Form N-CEN schema and online application to permit filers to comply with the new requirements: |
• | Addition of new Item C.22 Liquidity Classification Services. |
• | Addition of new RSSD ID and other identifying number fields throughout the Form. Previously, certain LEI fields on the Form permitted filers to report either an LEI, RSSD ID, or, in some cases, other identifying number in the same field. This release separates LEI, RSSD ID, and other identifying number into different fields. The specific items that will be modified are: B.16.a.iv, B.17.c, C.5.b.ii, C.6.c.ii, C.6.c.v.2, C.6.d.ii, C.9.a.iv, C.9.b.iv, C.9.c.iv, C.9.d.iv, C.10.a.iii, C.11.a.ii, C.12.a.ii, C.13.a.ii, C.14.a.ii, C.15.d, C.16.a.iv, C.17.a.iv, D.12.a.iv, D.12.b.iv, D.12.c.iv, D.12.d.iv, D.13.a.iii, D.14.a.ii, E.2.d, F.1.c, F.2.a.ii, and F.4.c. |
Important Note on LEI field validation and future validation changes: |
At this time, EDGAR will not be enforcing field length validations for the LEI field. This will enable filers to continue to upload and submit submissions according to their current process without generating an error message. |
Beginning on November 17, 2025, however, filers will be expected to report the appropriate identifier in the appropriate field and EDGAR will enforce specific validations for each of these fields when an entry is provided. LEI will require a 20-character alphanumeric response or "N/A". RSSD ID will require a numerical response of up to 10 digits or "N/A". Other identifying numbers will be limited to 100 characters but also will require the filer to provide a description of up to 500 characters. Submissions with entries that do not meet these criteria will not be accepted. |
• | The EDGARLink Online interface will remove the inoperable links to the following submission types: N-PX and N-PX/A. Since July 1, 2024, filers have been required to make these submissions in a structured format created by either using the online version available on the EDGAR Filing Website or constructed by filers according to the "EDGAR Form N-PX XML Technical Specification" document. Select references to Form N-PX and its variants will be removed from EDGAR Filer Manual Volume II: Chapter 7 Preparing and Transmitting EDGARLink Online Submissions. |
• | EDGAR will be updated to support the IFRS 2025 Taxonomy. Additionally, the following taxonomies are now disallowed: US GAAP/2023, SRT/2023, IFRS/2023; and the 2023 version of CEF, COUNTRY, CURRENCY, DEI, ECD, EXCH, FND, NAICS, OEF, RR, RXP, SIC, SNJ, STPR, VIP taxonomies. |
Please see https://www.sec.gov/edgar/information-for-filers/standard-taxonomies for a complete list of supported standard taxonomies. |
• | EDGAR will be updated to include pop-up messages on Form MA, MA-A and MA/A for Items 1.E.(1) and 1.E.(3) if the user denotes an address as a private residence in those items. The messages will include information for the convenience of the filer denoting how to remove certain address information from their public EDGAR profile. The change will not otherwise alter the functionality or requirements of those submission types. |
• | The Fee Exhibit Preparation Tool (FEPT) will be updated to include an informational text block to the Table 1 section for certain forms, schedules, or statements where either "General Instructions II.H / II.I" or "Combine with Rule 457(f)" applies. This text will specify where underlying calculation information will appear in relation to an offering line and is designed to provide greater transparency into existing functionality. This update is purely informational and will introduce no changes to existing functionality. |
