I. Implementation of Financial Data Schedules in Connection With 
Division of Corporation Finance and Division of Investment Management 
Filings

    On February 23, 1993, the Commission adopted interim rules to 
implement mandated electronic filing on the EDGAR system for 
registrants whose filings are processed by the Divisions of Corporation 
Finance and Investment Management and for those making filings with 
respect to such registrants.7 These rules included provisions 
requiring electronic filers to furnish Financial Data Schedules. A 
Financial Data Schedule is an exhibit that will contain financial 
information extracted or derived from financial data within a filing 
that is marked (or ``tagged'') to allow electronic manipulation of such 
information.8
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(``Corporation Finance Release''); IC-19284 (February 23, 1993) (58 
FR 14848) (``Investment Company Release''); and 35-25746 (February 
23, 1993) (58 FR 14999) (``Public Utility Release''), cumulatively 
referred to as the ``Adopting Releases''.
    \8\For a complete discussion of Financial Data Schedules, see 
Section IV.D of the Corporation Finance Release. See also Section 
IV.D of the Investment Company Release and Section IV of the Public 
Utility Release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While most provisions of the interim rules became effective on 
April 26, 1993, the Financial Data Schedule provisions initially were 
to become effective on November 1, 1993, in order to provide additional 
time for system programming. However, on September 28, 1993, the 
Commission's Office of Information Technology announced that Financial 
Data Schedules would not be accepted by the EDGAR system until sometime 
in the second quarter of 1994.9 The Commission announces today 
that the EDGAR system's capacity to accept and process Financial Data 
Schedules has been fully developed and tested. As a result, Financial 
Data Schedules will be required to be submitted in connection with 
filings made on or after September 1, 1994.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\See Release No. 34-32971 (September 28, 1993) (58 FR 51659).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As discussed more fully in the Adopting Releases, Financial Data 
Schedules are required to be submitted with electronic filings under 
the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'')10 and the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'')11 that contain 
updated financial information (other than through incorporation by 
reference) and with designated filings under the Investment Company Act 
of 194012 and the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 
(``1935 Act'').13 Advance copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual and 
EDGARLink version 3.5, which support construction of Financial Data 
Schedules, were made available to the public in April 1994; minor 
modifications will be made available prior to the mandated 
implementation date. This distribution scheme was chosen to allow 
mandated electronic filers ample time to commence test filings in 
advance of the September 1994 implementation date.14

    \1\4The Commission is adopting the EDGAR Filer Manual for 
EDGARLink version 3.5 concurrently with this release; the updated 
Filer Manual also has an effective date of September 1, 1994. See 
Release No. 33-7073 (July 8, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After Financial Data Schedule requirements are implemented, an 
electronic filer's failure to furnish a schedule will not prevent 
acceptance of the filing for which the schedule is required. However, 
inasmuch as the schedule may be used by the Commission staff, 
processing of the filing may be delayed pending filing of the schedule. 
Further, electronic filers that have not filed a required Financial 
Data Schedule will be ineligible to use Form S-2,15 Form S-
3,16 and Form S-8.17 If a filing is made without a required 
Financial Data Schedule, or if a schedule is submitted with errors and 
is therefore identified by EDGAR as a ``flawed'' exhibit, the filer 
must remedy the omission or flawed schedule by submitting a correctly 
compiled schedule as an amendment to the original filing.18

    \1\517 CFR 239.12.
    \1\617 CFR 239.13.
    \1\717 CFR 239.16b. In addition, accelerated effectiveness will 
not be available for registration statements that do not contain 
required Financial Data Schedules.
    \1\8If the amendment is solely for the purpose of adding or 
revising this exhibit, the filing may consist of the cover page, 
signature page, exhibit index, and the new or revised exhibit. The 
rest of the filing need not be resubmitted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clarifying Amendments and Other Matters Involving Division of 
Corporation Finance Filings

A. Rule Changes

    In the Adopting Releases, the Commission solicited comments or 
suggestions from interested parties relating to the Financial Data 
Schedule requirements. In response, the Commission received three 
comment letters.19 Filers generally have reacted favorably to the 
changes made to the proposed Financial Data Schedule requirements now 
embodied in the adopted rules. However, in response to questions from 
filers, the Commission is adopting technical and clarifying amendments 
to Item 601(c) of Regulations S-B and S-K20 to provide registrants 
with a clearer understanding of the filing requirements relating to 
Financial Data Schedules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\9These letters are available for inspection in the 
Commission's public reference room, File No. S7-6-93.
    \2\017 CFR 228.601(c) and 17 CFR 229.601(c). For purposes of 
this release, any references to Item 601 of Relation S-K also 
pertain to Item 601(c) of Regulation S-B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the amendments adopted today are merely technical 
corrections to clarify existing requirements and relate generally to 
agency procedure or practice, proposal for comment is not required 
under the Administrative Procedure Act.21 Further, the Commission 
finds good cause under section 553(b) of that Act for not publishing 
the amendments for comment because such publication is unnecessary. The 
rules being amended were adopted after notice and opportunity for 
public comment, and no substantive obligations will change as a result 
of the amendments. The changes are responsive to filer concerns raised 
with the staff relating to ambiguity in the current language of the 
rules. Since no public comment is required, it follows that this 
rulemaking is not subject to the requirements of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act.22
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\15 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \2\25 U.S.C. 603, 604.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Periods Covered in Financial Data Schedule
    As adopted, Item 601(c) states that subsequent to becoming subject 
to mandated electronic filing, any electronic filing that includes 
financial statements of the registrant:

    For a recent fiscal year or interim year to date period, or 
both, for which financial statements have not previously been filed, 
otherwise than by incorporation by reference, shall include as an 
exhibit a Financial Data Schedule containing information for the 
updating period or periods (emphasis added).23
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\3Item 601(c)(1)(ii) of Regulations S-B and S-K.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some filers have expressed uncertainty about the meaning of the 
term ``updating period'' as it relates to income statements included in 
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, asking if the schedule should include 
information only for the period of the report, that is, one quarter's 
information, or if cumulative year to date information should be 
included, or both.24 In the Corporation Finance Release, the 
Commission explained that information would be required for the interim 
year to date period (e.g., nine months in the third quarter Form 10-
Q).25 Accordingly, the Commission is amending the language of Item 
601(c) to clearly state that information is required for the most 
recent annual or interim year to date periods (or both if included in a 
registration statement to which the schedule relates).26
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\4A summary of staff telephone conversations on this point is 
available for inspection in the Commission's public reference room, 
File No. S7-6-93.
    \2\5See Section IV.D.3 of the Corporation Finance Release.
    \2\6A Financial Data Schedule furnished with a Securities Act 
registration statement that includes financial information for both 
annual and interim periods would include two columns of data--one 
column for the annual period, and another for the interim period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Representing Immaterial or Inapplicable Values
    Filers must furnish a value corresponding to each line item 
required in the various schedules.27 One commenter suggested that 
a ``N/A'' (not applicable) designation be allowed in response to a 
Financial Data Schedule line item where corresponding information was 
omitted from the underlying financial statements because it was 
immaterial or inapplicable, as permitted by Regulation S-X.28 
Because of system design considerations, an ``N/A'' designation is not 
feasible. However, in order to address the issue, the Commission is 
amending Item 601(c) to provide specifically that if an item is 
inappropriate or immaterial in the underlying financial statements, a 
filer must place a ``0'' (zero) next to the appropriate tag in the 
Financial Data Schedule. This will inform the EDGAR system that the 
data entry cannot be used for ratio calculations or other arithmetic 
functions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\7If a consolidated totals schedule (Schedule CT) is used with 
two or more partial schedules applicable to disparate industry 
segments of a single conglomerate corporation, a value is required 
for each item in the Schedule CT itself. Tags and values for 
inapplicable or immaterial items in the associated schedules are not 
required to be included; if, however, tags for such items are 
included, a value ``0'' (zero) is required.
    \2\817 CFR part 210.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. No Schedule Required With Form 11-K
    Financial Data Schedules were never intended to be required in 
connection with reports on Form 11-K, the annual report for employee 
stock purchase, savings and similar plans,29 and consequently, no 
affirmative obligation to submit a Schedule was adopted in Regulation 
S-K, Regulation S-B or the Form itself. In order to make that policy 
clear, a note has been added to Regulation S-K and S-B exempting 
filings on Form 11-K from Financial Data Schedule requirements.30
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\917 CFR 249.311.
    \3\0See new note to paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of Item 601 of 
Regulation S-B and Regulation S-K.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Other Matters

1. Schedule To Be Filed by Public Utility Companies and Public Utility 
Holding Companies in Connection With Filings Processed by the Division 
of Corporation Finance
    The adopted rules provide that public utility companies and public 
utility holding companies (jointly referred to as ``public utilities'') 
must use Schedule UT31 in preparing their Financial Data Schedules 
submitted in connection with Division of Corporation Finance 
filings.32 One commenter stated that it was unclear when a company 
is considered a ``public utility company'' under the Financial Data 
Schedule rules. The term ``public utility company'' is defined in the 
1935 Act as ``an electric utility company or a gas utility company,'' 
as those terms are defined in that Act.33 This definition was 
intended to apply to the provisions in question.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\1Appendix E to Item 601(c). Schedule UT follows the same 
format for the Financial Data Schedule (OPUR1) required in 
connection with annual reports filed under the 1935 Act.
    \3\2These rules are found at 17 CFR 228.601(c)(3)(v) and 17 CFR 
229.601(c)(3)(v).
    \3\3See 1935 Act sections 2(a)(3) and 2(a)(4) for definitions of 
``electric utility company'' and ``gas utility company'' (15 U.S.C. 
79b (a)(3) and (a)(4)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The commenter also requested clarification as to whether an option 
would be available to a public utility company to choose between 
Schedule UT or the Schedule based on Article 5 of Regulation S-
X.34 Generally, public utilities will be required to use Schedule 
UT in connection with their filings under the Securities Act or the 
Exchange Act. However, as is true with the presentation of other forms 
of financial information, in unusual circumstances where a public 
utility's financial statements simply would be better reflected by the 
use of a Financial Data Schedule other than Schedule UT, appropriate 
relief may be granted upon consultation with the staff of the Division 
of Corporation Finance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\4Appendix A to Item 601(c). Article 5 of Regulation S-X is 
found at 17 CFR 210.5-01 through 210.5-04.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Interpretation of Items Required by Financial Data Schedules
    One commenter expressed concerns that the Financial Data Schedule 
captions are not sufficiently specific to encompass all financial 
statement reporting components. System constraints necessarily limit 
the different types of Financial Data Schedule items to a feasible 
number of generic categories, with each item requiring a response. 
Although there is an infinite number of possible financial statement 
reporting variations, the schedule items can capture only broadly 
defined and frequently occurring account types. Consequently, the 
flexibility of presentation generally available to registrants in their 
financial statements is restricted in the context of Financial Data 
Schedules; filers will not be allowed to customize line items in the 
schedules by creating new tags or line items.35 Filers must 
consider the information in underlying financial statements and 
determine the best fit into the line items on the schedule. Financial 
Data Schedule line items are not provided for unusual or infrequently 
occurring account types. Data relating to such items, however, will be 
reflected in relevant totals included in the Financial Data Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\5EDGARLink version 3.5 includes a facility to aid filers in 
the construction of Financial Data Schedules. Filers will be 
prompted to insert figures following fixed tag names that correspond 
to the various schedule items.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Matters Applicable to Investment Management Filers

A. Technical Revisions to Rule 483(e)

    The Commission is amending Rule 483(e) to correct a typographical 
error in the Investment Company Release and to conform the Financial 
Data Schedule items to revised form requirements adopted by the 
Commission and changes in the requirements for preparation of financial 
statements under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, 
the Commission is amending Rule 483(e) to provide specifically that, if 
an item is inappropriate or immaterial in the underlying financial 
statements, a filer must place a ``0'' (zero) next to the appropriate 
tag in the Financial Data Schedule.36
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\6See new paragraph (e)(3)(iii) of Rule 483. See also supra 
Section II.A.2 of this Release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Technical Revisions to Form U-13-60

    The Commission is amending Form U-13-60 to correct a typographical 
error in the Public Utility Release.

IV. Statutory Basis

    The amendments to Item 601(c) of Regulations S-B and S-K are 
promulgated pursuant to Securities Act sections 6, 7, 8, 10 and 19 and 
Schedule A; Exchange Act sections 3, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23 and 35A; 
1935 Act section 20 and Investment Company Act of 1940 sections 8, 30, 
31 and 38. The amendments to Rule 483(e) under the Securities Act are 
adopted under: Securities Act sections 2, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 19(a); 
Exchange Act sections 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 23 and 35A; and Investment 
Company Act sections 8, 30, 31 and 38. The amendments to 1935 Act Form 
U-13-60 are being adopted under sections 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 
and 20 of the 1935 Act.
