Today, SEC staff published a draft EDGAR Form SHO-specific submission taxonomy related to the SEC’s adoption of new Form SHO. The Form SHO-specific taxonomy comprises the collection of XML Schema Definition (.xsd) filers that defines the structure of the Form SHO submission.  The SEC adopted the Short Position and Short Activity Reporting by Institutional Investment Managers rule and form changes on October 13, 2023 to require certain institutional investment managers that meet or exceed specified reporting thresholds to report, on a monthly basis, short position data and short activity data for equity securities using new Form SHO. The first reporting month is January 2025. The first Form SHO filings are due within 14 calendar days after the end of the reporting month.

On September 16, 2024, EDGAR Release 24.3 will introduce the following changes: EDGAR Filing Website Updates for Release 24.3 On Jan. 24, 2024, the SEC adopted rules related to initial public offerings by special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") and subsequent business combination transactions between SPACs and private operating companies ("de-SPAC transactions"). Under the rules, the private operating company in a de-SPAC transaction would be, in some instances, a co-registrant for purposes of the registration statement filed in connection with the de-SPAC transaction. EDGAR will be updated to permit co-registrants in a draft registration statement submission. See Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, Shell Companies, and Projections, Release No. 33-11265 (Jan. 24, 2024). See also Chapter 7 of the EDGAR Filer Manual, Vol. II. The "Request Return of Unused Funds" webpage on the EDGAR Filing Website will be updated to remove the current "Check" refund payment method. Filers may now request a return of unused account funds via "ACH" or "WIRE". Filers located in the United States or using a US Bank which supports ACH must select "ACH Payment". Alternatively, filers who are located internationally or using a bank that does not support ACH must select "WIRE Payment." Filers are responsible for any WIRE fees charged by their financial institution. EDGARLink Online Updates for Release 24.3 EDGAR will be updated to allow registered security-based swap execution facilities (SBSEFs) to file chief compliance officer reports and financial resource reports using Inline XBRL. Chief compliance officer reports and amendments will be filed as SBSEF-CCO-RPT and SBSEF-CCO-RPT/A submissions, respectively. Quarterly financial resource reports and amendments, and financial resource reports pursuant to Commission requests and amendments will be filed as SBSEF-FIN-QTR, SBSEF-FIN-QTR/A, SBSEF-FIN-REQ, and SBSEF-FIN-REQ/A submissions, respectively. See Security Based Swap Execution and Registration of Security-Based Swap Execution Facilities, Release No. 34-98845 (Nov. 2, 2023). See also Chapter 6 Tables B6-12, 6-15, and 6-18, and Chapters 8.2.38 and 8.2.39 of the EDGAR Filer Manual, Vol. II. EDGAR will be updated to allow filers to use the appropriate XBRL Taxonomy for cybersecurity disclosure required to be included in Forms 6-K, 8-K, 10-K, and 20-F (and the variants 10-KT, 10-K/A, 10-KT/A), 20-F/A, 8-K/A, and 6-K/A).

See Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, Shell Companies, and Projections, Release No. 33-11265 (Jan. 24, 2024).
