Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the adoption of amendments to Rules 5-04 and 12-06 of Regulation S-X

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the adoption of amendments to Rules 5-04 and 12-06 of Regulation S-X. On December 22, 1942 the Commission adopted comprehensive amendments to Regulation S-X designed to simplify and shorten reports required to be filed by registrants by permitting under designated conditions the omission or partial omission of certain schedules. The Commission\u27s experience with these amendments has not been entirely satisfactory. The present revision\u27s are designed to secure with a minimum burden and expense certain information deemed essential relating to property, plant, and equipment under designated conditions. While the rules as amended call for the filing under certain circumstances of information with respect to property, plant, and equipment not now required, the present requirements relating thereto are less than those existing prior to December 22, 1942
