PART 232--REGULATION S-T--GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRONIC FILINGS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 232.106  Prohibition against electronic submissions containing executable code.

    (a) Electronic submissions must not contain executable code. 
Attempted submissions identified as containing executable code will be 
suspended, unless the executable code is contained only in one or more 
PDF documents, in which case the submission will be accepted but the PDF 
document(s) containing executable code will be deleted and not 
disseminated.
    (b) If an electronic submission has been accepted, and the 
Commission staff later determines that the accepted submission contains 
executable code, the staff may delete from the EDGAR system the entire 
accepted electronic submission or any document contained in the accepted 
electronic submission. The Commission staff may direct the electronic 
filer to resubmit electronically replacement document(s) or a 
replacement submission in its entirety, in compliance with this 
provision and the EDGAR Filer Manual.
    Note to Sec. 232.106: A violation of this section or the relevant 
EDGAR Filer Manual section also may be a violation of the Computer Fraud 
and Abuse Act of 1986, as amended, and other statutes and laws.
