Excellent find FACT-MASTER! I see quite a few things in here (from the URL that you provided) that could hold up an automated EDGAR Filing:

Staff involvement in the filing process

The EDGAR filing process is largely automated. Filings are processed pursuant to the electronic instructions and information provided by filers within the filings themselves. The staff generally does not correct errors in EDGAR filings, nor does it typically intervene in the filing process. However, there are situations where the staff does get involved, either to help filers resolve problems with their filings’ receipt and acceptance by EDGAR or to protect the integrity and reliability of the EDGAR database. The most common situations where the staff may be asked to intervene or may otherwise become involved are as follows:

Correcting the submission type

If a filer submits a filing using the wrong submission type, usually the filer should refile the document using the correct submission type. In these situations, the staff generally does not take any steps to delete the original filing from the EDGAR system.

Correcting the file number

If a filer submits a filing that includes an incorrect file number, the staff generally does not take any steps to correct the information on the EDGAR system. In no event would any request be considered unless the file number requested corresponds to the file number contained in the text of the filing itself.

Correcting other information in the filing

The staff will not make pre- or post-acceptance changes to the text of filings. A filer that has made a filing with incorrect information in the text of the filing may choose to amend that filing to correct the information or to refile the document with the correct information.

In rare and unusual situations, the staff will consider requests to correct other types of filing errors. You may wish to call 202-551-3600 to discuss your problem before submitting a written request for relief. The staff will consider a request to correct EDGAR filing errors when the filer (not a third party, such as a filing agent) submits a written request to the Chief, Office of Information Technology, Division of Corporation Finance via an EDGAR CORRESP submission. The filer must submit this request under the company’s CIK. The request must be signed by the company or an authorized legal representative of the company.

To process these requests most efficiently, we recommend that the filer provide the following information in any request for header information changes:

The name and CIK of the company.

The accession number of filing that is the subject of the request.

The EDGAR submission type of filing that is the subject of the request.

Identification of the specific error.

Identification of the correct information that filer should have used.

An affirmative request that we change the submission to correct the information.

NOTE: Please do not include any private information such as EDGAR access codes and Social Security Numbers in the CORRESP submission.
We strongly encourage the filer to confirm this submission by sending an e-mail to cfitedgar@sec.gov, in which it presents the accession number of the request submitted on EDGAR and a name and phone number for a person whom the staff should contact regarding the request.

It can take several weeks to process form type or file number post-acceptance changes. Please check the SEC Filings & Forms (EDGAR) link on sec.gov to determine if the correction has been processed. If the correction does not appear within eight weeks, you may call 202-551-3600 for follow-up.
