SEC Releases Final Rule Related to EDGAR Filer Access and Account Management

The SEC has released a final rule to amend its requirements related to “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.” Among other changes, the amendments “require electronic 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.”
