Form EFFECT Files Dataset

Form EFFECT filings are electronic notifications issued by the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance and Division of Investment Management to record that a Securities Act registration statement or post-effective amendment has been declared effective. Rather than mailing paper effectiveness orders, the SEC began distributing these notifications through EDGAR in May 2006, providing the public with a searchable, timely record of when registration statements are declared effective by the Commission's staff. The dataset includes all EFFECT submissions posted to EDGAR from May 2006 to present. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. These notifications are generated by SEC staff, not by registrants, and each corresponds to a previously filed Securities Act registration statement or post-effective amendment. Each filing typically contains the name and CIK of the registrant whose registration statement was declared effective, the accession number of the underlying registration statement, the date of effectiveness, and header information identifying the filing as an SEC-issued notice rather than a registrant submission.
