the use of AHP direct subsidy by its 

members to assist in the refinancing of 

a household’s mortgage loan, provided

(c)(8) of this section, shall not apply to 

such program. 

(2) Eligible loans. A loan is eligible to 

be refinanced with AHP direct subsidy 

if the loan is secured by a first mortgage 

on an owner-occupied unit that is the 

primary residence of the household, and 

the loan is refinanced under an eligible 

targeted refinancing program. 

(3) Eligible uses of AHP direct 

subsidy. Members may provide the AHP 

direct subsidy to: 

(i) Reduce the outstanding principal 

balance of the loan by no more than the 

amount necessary for the new loan to 

qualify under both the maximum loanto-value ratio and the maximum 

household mortgage debt-to-income 

ratio required by the eligible targeted 

refinancing program; or 

(ii) Pay loan closing costs. 

(4) Eligible lender participants. A 

Bank, in its discretion, may require that 

a household obtain its refinancing loan 

through a member participating in an 

eligible targeted refinancing program.

an AHP set-aside refinancing program 

established under this paragraph (f), a 

household must obtain counseling for 

foreclosure mitigation and for 

qualification for refinancing by an 

eligible targeted refinancing program 

through the National Foreclosure 

Mitigation Counseling program or other 

counseling program used by a State or 

local government or housing finance 

agency. 

(6) Sunset.—(i) This paragraph (f) 

shall expire on July 30, 2010, and a 

Bank may not commit AHP subsidy to 

households under its AHP set-aside 

refinancing program after such date.

committed by such date for a loan 

submitted to the eligible targeted 

refinancing program for approval on or 

before July 30, 2010 that is approved for 

refinancing under such program after

17 CFR Part 232 

[Release Nos. 33–9058; 34–60390; 39–2466; 

IC–28838] 

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer 

Manual 

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange 

Commission (the Commission) is 

adopting revisions to the Electronic Data 

Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval 

System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect 

updates to the EDGAR system. The 

revisions were made primarily to 

support the 2009 US GAAP Taxonomy, 

the Schedule of Investments (SOI) 

Taxonomy and to communicate a 

change in the Filer Support hours to 9 

a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The revisions to the 

Filer Manual reflect changes within 

Volume I entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, 

Volume I: ‘‘General Information,’’ 

Version 7 (July 2009) and Volume II 

entitled EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume 

II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 12 (July 

2009). The updated manual will be 

incorporated by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 4, 2009. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the rule is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of August 4, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In 

the Office of Information Technology, 

contact Rick Heroux, at (202) 551–8800; 

in the Office of Interactive Disclosure 

for questions concerning the 2009 US 

GAAP Taxonomy and the Schedule of 

Investments Taxonomy contact Jeffrey 

Naumann, Assistant Director of the 

Office of Interactive Disclosure, at (202) 

551–5352; in the Division of 

Corporation Finance, for questions on 

the change in filer support hours of 

operation, the Form D entity type 

description requirement or the 

requirement to provide additional 

information on the authentication 

documentation for Update Passphrase 

and Convert Paper Filer to Electronic 

Filer requests contact Cecile Peters, 

Chief, Office of Information Technology, 

at (202) 551–3600; and in the Division 

of Investment Management for questions 

on changing investment company type 

contact Ruth Armfield Sanders, Senior 

Special Counsel, Office of Legal and 

Disclosure, at (202) 551–6989. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are 

adopting an updated EDGAR Filer 

Manual, Volume I and Volume II. The 

Filer Manual describes the technical 

formatting requirements for the 

preparation and submission of 

electronic filings through the EDGAR 

system.1 It also describes the 

requirements for filing using 

EDGARLink 2 and the Online Forms/ 

XML Web site. 

The Filer Manual contains all the 

technical specifications for filers to 

submit filings using the EDGAR system. 

Filers must comply with the applicable 

provisions of the Filer Manual in order 

to assure the timely acceptance and 

processing of filings made in electronic 

format.3 Filers may consult the Filer 

Manual in conjunction with our rules 

governing mandated electronic filing 

when preparing documents for 

electronic submission.4

The EDGAR system will be upgraded 

to Release 9.16 on July 20, 2009 and will 

introduce the following changes: 

Interactive Data/XBRL Changes: The 

existing US GAAP Taxonomy will be 

upgraded to the 2009 US GAAP 

Taxonomy; the US GAAP Beta 2.0 

Taxonomy will no longer be supported; 

and, the system will support the 

Schedule of Investments Taxonomy 

2008. Taxonomy details can be found on 

the SEC public Web site’s ‘‘EDGAR 

Standard Taxonomies’’ Web page 

(http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/ 

edgartaxonomies.shtml). Chapter 6 

(Interactive Data) of the EDGAR Filer 

Manual, Volume II: ‘‘EDGAR Filing’’ has 

been updated to make minor 

clarifications to the instructions on 

XBRL/Interactive Data Tagging. 

New Filer Support Hours: The 

updated EDGAR Filer Manual makes the 

business hours for all EDGAR Filer 

Support branches uniform and conforms 

them to the Commission’s official 

business hours of 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. 

Eastern Time. The manual notes that for 

the first time filers may leave voice mail 

for calls placed outside of the official 

business hours. 

Filer Management: Filers will be 

required to provide the printed name 

and title or position of the authorized 

person signing on both the Update 

Passphrase and Convert Paper Only 

Filer to Electronic Filer requests, which 

are faxed to the SEC. 

A new fax line will be added for 

submitting Form ID notarized 

authentication documentation. The new 

fax line number will be (703) 813–6961. 

The EDGAR Filing Web site will be 

updated to allow filers to change their 

investment company type (ICT) from the 

‘‘Enter Series and Classes (Contracts) 

Information’’ option under the Retrieve/ 

Edit Data menu. 

Minor description changes were made 

to submission form types DEFM14A and 

PREM14A. 

Along with adoption of the Filer 

Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of 

Regulation S–T to provide for the 

incorporation by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations of today’s 

revisions. This incorporation by 

reference was approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51. 

You may obtain paper copies of the 

updated Filer Manual at the following 

address: Public Reference Room, U.S. 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

100 F Street, NE., Room 1520, 

Washington, DC 20549, on official 

business days between the hours of 10 

a.m. and 3 p.m. We will post electronic 

format copies on the Commission’s Web 

site; the address for the Filer Manual is 

http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. 

Since the Filer Manual relates solely 

to agency procedures or practice, 

publication for notice and comment is 

not required under the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA).5 It follows that 

the requirements of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act 6 do not apply. 

The effective date for the updated 

Filer Manual and the rule amendments 

is August 4, 2009. In accordance with 

the APA,7 we find that there is good 

cause to establish an effective date less 

than 30 days after publication of these 

rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to 

Release 9.16 is scheduled to be available 

on July 20, 2009. The Commission 

believes that establishing an effective 

date less than 30 days after publication 

of these rules is necessary to coordinate 

the effectiveness of the updated Filer 

Manual with the system upgrade.
