17 C.F.R. § 275.204-1 Amendments to application for registration.
Title 17 - Commodity and Securities Exchanges
(a) When amendment is required. You must amend your Form ADV (17 CFR 279.1): (1) At least annually, within 90 days of the end of your fiscal year; and (2) More frequently, if required by the instructions to Form ADV. Note to paragraph (b) Electronic filing of amendments. (1) You must file all amendments to Part 1A of your Form ADV electronically with the IARD, unless you have received a continuing hardship exemption under §275.203–3. (2) If you have received a continuing hardship exemption under §275.203–3, you must, when you are required to amend your Form ADV, file a completed Part 1A of Form ADV on paper with the SEC by mailing it to the NASD. (c) Special rule for Part II. You are not required to file with the Commission a copy of Part II of Form ADV if you maintain a copy of your Part II (and any brochure you deliver to clients) in your files. The copy maintained in your files is considered filed with the Commission. Note to paragraph (d) Filing fees. You must pay the NASD (the operator of the IARD) an initial filing fee when you first electronically file Part 1A of Form ADV. After you pay the initial filing fee, you must pay an annual filing fee each time you file your annual updating amendment. No portion of either fee is refundable. The Commission has approved the filing fees. Your amended Form ADV will not be accepted by NASD, and thus will not be considered filed with the Commission, until you have paid the filing fee. (e) Amendments to Form ADV are reports. Each amendment required to be filed under this section is a “report” within the meaning of sections 204 and 207 of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80b–4 and 80b–7).
