Sec. 232.10  Application of part 232.

    (a) This part, in conjunction with the EDGAR Filer Manual and the 
electronic filing provisions of applicable rules, regulations and forms, 
shall govern the electronic submission of documents filed or otherwise 
submitted to the Commission and shall be controlling for an electronic 
format document in the manner and respects provided in this part.
    (b) Each registrant, third party, or agent must file in paper format 
a Form ID (Secs. 239.63, 249.446, 259.602, 269.7 and 274.402 of this

become subject to the disclosure and filing requirements of the federal 
securities laws to submit a Form ID well in advance of the first 
required filing, including a registration statement relating to an 
initial public offering, in order to facilitate electronic filing on a 
timely basis.
