your

102
of
the
Act

When
to
File
Periodic
transaction
reporting
is
subject
to
two
different
deadlines.
Under
the
Ethics
in
Government
Act,
you
need
to
file
a
report:
•
within
30
days
of
receiving
notification
of
a
transaction,
but
•
not
later
than
45
days
after
the
transaction.
Which
deadline
applies
depends
on
when
you
receive
notification
of
the
transaction.
Normally,
you
need
to
disclose
a
transaction
within
30
days
of
receiving
the
notification.
For
example,
if
you
receive
online
confirmation
of
a
transaction
that
you
ordered
earlier
today,
you
will
file
your
report
within
30
days.
Sometimes,
you
might
not
receive
notification
right
away.
In
that
case,
the
45-day
deadline
can
shorten
the
period
for
filing
your
report.
For
example,
if
today
you
receive
notification
of
a
transaction
that
occurred
early
last
month,
you
will
need
to
be
sure
to
file
your
report
no
later
than
45
days
after
the
transaction
occurred.
The
45-day
period
might
end
sooner
than
30
days
from
today.
Example
1
:
You
purchase
a
stock
on
July
1
and
receive
notification
the
same
day.
You
need
to
report
the
purchase
on
or
before
July
31.
Example
2
:
You
receive
a
statement
on
August
10
regarding
a
purchase
that
occurred
on
July
31.
You
need
to
report
the
purchase
on
or
before
September
9
because
September
9
is
30
days
after
you
received
notification
of
the
transaction.
Example
3
:
You
receive
a
statement
on
August
10
regarding
a
purchase
that
occurred
on
July
1.
You
need
to
report
the
purchase
on
or
before
August
15.
Although
the
30-day
period
from
notification
ends
September
9,
the
45-day
period
from
the
date
of
the
transaction
ends
earlier.
Note:
These
deadlines
do
not
apply
to
any
voluntary
disclosures
of
Annual
and
Termination
report
information
that
you
choose
to
make.
