INDEX TO FORMS
As a filer, you will first need to determine whether you must meet your filing obligation via
EDGAR. The SEC Rules, particularly Regulation S-T, General Rules and Regulations for
Electronic Filings, outline which filings are mandated as electronic. This means that they must be
filed on EDGAR unless there is a case for Temporary or Continuing Hardship. (The rules for
each form and hardship exemptions may differ, so please see the regulation for specific
information.) Once you determine the form you need to file is electronic, then you need to
identify the submission type to use. For each submission type, there are specific tools that you
can use.
As the EDGAR system has evolved using new technologies, tools have been added, changed,
and sometimes updated. There is no longer a single tool for preparing an EDGAR submission.
Your guide to the tools is this index. The first index allows you to lookup EDGAR electronic
submission types easily if all you know is the submission form type. Included in the last two
columns is detailed information about the tools that are used to create and/or assemble the filing.
The second index is easiest to use if you are more comfortable looking up your submission type
by Act.
Before using the indexes, it is important to understand the difference between the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Form/Schedule/Rule column reference and the EDGAR Submission
Type column. The index entries under the CFR Form/Schedule/Rule column refer to the titles of
the actual Form, Schedule or Rule named in the CFR. The Submission Type refers to Form
variations filers use on the electronic filing system to fulfill their filing obligation. For example,
the paper Form 15 is implemented on EDGAR as a number of different submission types
including: 15-12B, 15-12G, and 15-15D. The last three digits represent the section of the 34 Act
under which the filer is obligated to file periodic reports.
Using either Index, find the submission type, check that the description of the form matches your
understanding of the purpose of the form, and identify the tool that should be used to create the
form. The options in this column are EDGARLink Online, and Online Forms. There is a section
in this manual describing in detail each of these tools. Chapter 7, “Preparing and Transmitting
EDGARLink Online Submissions,” describes EDGARLink Online. Chapter 8, “Preparing and
Transmitting Online Submissions,” describes online submissions using the EDGAR Online
Forms Website and EDGAR Filing Website. The column entitled Filer-Constructed Technical
Specifications should only be used by filers who want to create their submissions without the use
of EDGAR tools. These Technical Specifications are available on the SEC’s Public Website. The
Technical Specifications are delivered separately and are not part of the Filer Manual.
Note: In Section 3.1, “Alpha/Numeric” for simplicity we include both the initial form and the
associated amendment in the Submission Type column.

3.2 Electronic Form Types by Act
This index will allow you to use the filing type to identify the EDGAR submission type and
finally the tool or template you can use to either create or assemble the filing. Each of the tools
and templates are covered in detail in separate sections of this document. The final column
should only be used by filers or software developers who construct filings outside of the SEC
supplied tools. Filer-Constructed Technical Specifications are available on the SEC’s Public
Website. Please refer to these sites to determine if your version of the tool, template, or
document is correct.
Note: Tools, templates, and documents will no longer be marked with a version number relating
to a software release. Some tools may be specific to submission types that remain the
same through several releases, instead of being updated with each new release. Therefore
each tool, template and manual will now be marked with its own version number, specific
to that particular item. You can find the most current versions on the website from which
the tools, templates, and manuals are downloaded. Be sure to verify that you have the
current version before filing.
Issuers are advised that filings with the submission types listed below will receive a “Filing
Date” identical to the EDGAR “Received Date” even if received after 5:30 P.M. Eastern time,
which is different than normal filings. In addition these filings will be disseminated until 10:00
P.M. Eastern time. Normally filings received after 5:30 P.M. Eastern time will receive a filing
date of the next business day and will not be disseminated until the next business day.
The following submission types will receive a filing date identical to the EDGAR “Received
Date” and will be disseminated until 10:00 P.M. Eastern time: 3, 3/A, 4, 4/A, 5, 5/A, F-1MEF,
F-3MEF, F-4MEF, N-14MEF, N-2MEF, POS 462B, S-11MEF, S-1MEF, S-3MEF, S-4MEF,
S-BMEF.
You should send any fee payment made for the above registration statements to the
Commission's lockbox. Additionally, you should submit any fee payment certification that you
are making for the above-listed submission types, pursuant to Rule 111(b), using the
“CORRESP” submission type.
