Mandated EDGAR Filing for Foreign Issuers

We are publishing for comment proposed amendments to Regulation S-T, the rules that govern our Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system. These amendments would require foreign private issuers and foreign governments to file electronically through the EDGAR system their securities documents, including registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933 and registration statements, reports and other documents under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Currently our rules only permit, but do not require, foreign issuers to file their securities documents on EDGAR. By mandating the electronic filing of foreign issuers' securities documents on EDGAR, we hope to realize the same investor benefits and the same efficiencies in information transmission, dissemination, retrieval and analysis achieved since we mandated EDGAR filing for domestic issuers in 1993.
