What is SEC STAFF ACTION?

SEC STAFF ACTION is a submission type the SEC uses to post documents reflecting an action taken by staff on a filer's record, typically as a PDF. It appears on companies in the middle of registrations, spin-offs and other transactions.

It is a small series, but it records staff steps that do not appear elsewhere in the company's filings.
