The SEC has posted this announcement regarding the closure of the SEC and the EDGAR system on Wednesday, December 5, 2018, in observance of a national day of mourning for former President George H.W. Bush.

Consistent with SEC policy for federal holidays, EDGAR will be closed: "Filings will not be accepted and the Filing Web Site will not be operational. In addition, the Filer Support Call Center will not be open. We will resume normal operation on Thursday morning, December 6, 2018. Because December 5, 2018 will be treated as a federal holiday for filing purposes, any filings required to be made no later than December 5, 2018 will be considered timely if filed on or before December 6, 2018, the next business day."
