On July 16, 2026, the SEC proposed Regulation E-Delivery (“Reg E-Delivery”), a new rule that would establish a comprehensive framework permitting, but not requiring, electronic delivery (“e-delivery”) as the default method for providing required disclosures and reports under the federal securities laws.
The SEC has taken a concrete step toward making electronic delivery the default method for investor disclosures. On June 22, 2026, the Commission submitted a draft rule titled “Electronic Delivery of Information Under the Federal Securities Laws” to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) within the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) — the final stop in the federal rulemaking process before a proposal is published for public comment.

The SEC adopted broad new rules requiring many filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be submitted electronically through EDGAR, including the use of structured data when specified as well as a follow‑on final rule extending most of the compliance deadlines to give firms adequate time to build and test compliant technology.
