What is U5S?

EDGAR titles U5S "Annual report for holding companies [Section 5]". Each registered holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 filed one a year, covering its system companies, securities, intercompany transactions and officers.

The series ends with PUHCA's repeal in 2006. The reports are a rich source on the corporate structure of US utility groups.
