Abstract
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") is requesting comment on potential technical changes related to how entities and individuals access the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system ("EDGAR") to make submissions, and how these entities and individuals ("filers") manage the permissions of individuals who may file on EDGAR on their behalf. Individuals who seek to file on EDGAR on behalf of a filer would be directed to a third-party service provider to create individual user account credentials and to enable multifactor authentication. Each filer would designate a "filer administrator"--analogous to the current filer contact person who receives the filer's EDGAR access codes--to manage the permissions of the filer's individual users through a new filer management tool on EDGAR.
