What is the time zone of the events featured by the SEC?

Question

The SEC Edgar Filing Tracker is the official place to track official company filings. Let us take the example of Apple reports. You see a long list of filings and a Date with a rather exact hour of report upload (e.g. 2021-02-08 16:31:03). What is the time zone of this date stamp?

Flux · Accepted Answer

The time zone used by SEC filings is Eastern Time. Specifically, Eastern Standard Time (UTC-05:00) or Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC-04:00), whichever was in effect at the time of filing.
Reference: 17 CFR § 232.13 - Date of filing; adjustment of filing date
