Effective Friday, January 27, 2012, Form 10-K was amended by changing the heading for Part I, Item 4 to read “Mine Safety Disclosures.” Similarly, Part II, Item 4 of Form 10-Q was amended in the same manner. Previously, these item headings had read, “Removed and Reserved,” but as the new headings indicate they will now be used to provide disclosures required under Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Amendments were also made to Form 20-F and Form 40-F to provide for disclosures by foreign issuers. The substantive disclosure requirements for these items consists only of a statement whether, if applicable, disclosures required under Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act and under newly adopted Item 104 of Regulation S-K are included as an exhibit to the filing. Those disclosures apply only to an issuer that is an operator, or that has a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine covered by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, and require information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. The Commission estimated that only approximately 100 issuers filing Form 10-K will be required to provide the disclosures called for by the new provisions. All other issuers can state that the item is “not applicable,” but will want to note the change in the item headings for their filings.
