PCAOB’s EGC analysis, the comment 

letters received, and the PCAOB’s 

response. In connection with the 

PCAOB’s filing and the Commission’s 

review, 

A. The Commission finds that the 

Proposed Rules are consistent with the 

requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 

and the securities laws and are 

necessary or appropriate in the public 

interest or for the protection of 

investors; and 

B. Separately, the Commission finds 

that the application of the Proposed 

Rules to EGC audits is necessary or 

appropriate in the public interest, after 

considering the protection of investors 

and whether the action will promote 

efficiency, competition, and capital 

formation. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 107 of the Act and Section 

19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, that the 

Proposed Rules (File No. PCAOB–2012– 

01) be and hereby are approved. 

By the Commission. 

Elizabeth M. Murphy. 

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 8132] 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law (ACPIL): Notice of Public Meeting 

of the Study Group on the Hague 

Judgments Project 

The Office of the Assistant Legal 

Adviser for Private International Law, 

Department of State, hereby gives notice 

of a public meeting of the Study Group 

on the Judgments Project in the Hague 

Conference on Private International 

Law. 

Last April, the General Affairs and 

Policy Council of the Hague Conference 

decided to proceed with the Judgments 

Project as follows: 

(1) A Working Group was established 

to draft proposals for inclusion in an 

instrument on the recognition and 

enforcement of judgments; and 

(2) An Experts’ Group will convene 

separately to give further consideration 

to whether it would be desirable and 

feasible to include in this or another 

instrument provisions on jurisdiction. 

The Permanent Bureau of the Hague 

Conference has announced that two 

meetings will be held in The Hague 

during the latter part of February 

(precise dates to be determined): The 

Working Group on recognition and 

enforcement of judgments will meet, 

followed by a meeting of the Experts’ 

Group on jurisdiction and related 

issues. 

The purpose of the meeting of the 

Study Group is to obtain the views of 

concerned stakeholders on these 

matters; specifically, reactions to the 

issue papers that are being prepared by 

the Permanent Bureau for the Hague 

meetings. Those issue papers will be 

circulated, as soon as they become 

available, to those individuals who 

advise that they intend to participate in 

the public meeting. This is not a 

meeting of the full Advisory Committee. 

Time and Place: The meeting will 

take place on Wednesday, January 23, 

2013 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., EST 

in Room 240, South Building, State 

Department Annex 4. Participants 

should arrive at the Navy Hill gate at the 

corner of 23rd Street NW. and D Street 

NW. before 8:30 a.m. for visitor

using the contact information provided

public meeting and would like to 

participate from a remote location, 

teleconferencing will be available. 

Public Participation: This meeting is 

open to the public, subject to the 

capacity of the meeting room. 

Access to Navy Hill is strictly 

controlled. For pre-clearance purposes, 

those planning to attend in person are
