The Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), in general, require companies to file financial information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) in registration statements when they publicly offer securities and in reports when they have securities publicly held, respectively. The “Interactive Data” collection of information requires issuers filing these registration statements and reports to submit specified financial information to the Commission in interactive data format using eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). This collection of information is located primarily in:
• registration statement and report exhibit provisions, which require interactive data; and
• Rule 405 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.405), which specifies how to submit interactive data.
The exhibit provisions are in Item 601(b)(101) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.601(b)(101)), Form F-10 under the Securities Act (17 CFR 239.40), and Forms 20-F, 40-F, and 6-K under the Exchange Act (17 CFR 249.220f, 17 CFR 249.240f, and 17 CFR 249.306).
In interactive data format, financial information can be downloaded directly into spreedsheets and analyzed in a variety of ways using commercial off-the-shelf software. The specified financial information already is and will continue to be required to be submitted to the Commission in traditional format (i.e., HyperText Markup Language (HTML)) under existing requirements.
The purpose of the interactive data requirement is to make financial information easier for investors to analyze and assist issuers in automating regulatory filings and business information processing. The interactive data can be used by investors and others interested in such information.
The increases in time burden of 149,136 hours and cost burden of $17,339,400 are due to an updated higher estimate of the number of respondents based on more recent information.
