New Form

In connection with Release 34-93701, EDGAR now includes the following submission form type that will allow registrants to indicate that they are not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in a foreign jurisdiction:

• SPDSCL

EDGAR has been updated to provide the SPDSCL submission type which allows the filer to select a category that clearly indicates that the filer is providing documentation that it is not controlled by a foreign government. While filers may choose to include the documentation in public filings other than Forms 20-F, 40-F, 10-K, and N-CSR, like a 6-K or 8-K, this submission allows both the public and the SEC staff to more readily identify the required documentation.

Taxonomy Changes

With this release, EDGAR now supports the following taxonomies:

• IFRS 2022
• VIP 2022Q2

Additionally, support for versions of current taxonomies that were released prior to 2021 has been removed.
