10 In addition, Rule 19b–4(f)(6) provides that the 

Exchange must provide the Commission notice of 

its intent to file the proposed rule change, along 

with a brief description and text of the proposed 

rule change, at least five business days prior to the 

date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such 

shorter time as designated by the Commission. The 

Exchange has satisfied this requirement. 

11See CBOE Rule 6.54, Interpretations and 

Policies .03. 

12For purposes only of waiving the operative 

delay for this proposal, the Commission has 

considered the proposed rule’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 

15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 

13 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(C). 14 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received from 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were solicited 

or received with respect to the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 8 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 

thereunder 9 because the proposal does 

not: (i) Significantly affect the 

protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) by its 

terms, become operative for 30 days 

from the date on which it was filed, or 

such shorter time as the Commission 

may designate if consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest.10

The Exchange has requested that the 

Commission waive the 30-day operative 

delay period. The Commission hereby 

grants the request. The Commission 

notes that the proposal is nearly 

identical to the rules of another 

exchange.11 Therefore, the Commission 

believes it is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest to waive the 30-day operative 

delay and designates the proposal as 

operative upon filing.12

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act.13

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Small Business Information Security 

Task Force 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of meeting minutes. 

SUMMARY: The SBA is issuing this notice 

to publish meeting minutes for the 

Small Business Information Security 

Task Force Meeting. 

DATES: 1 p.m., Wednesday, November 

10, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting was held via 

teleconference. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to section 507(i)(4)(A) of the Credit Card 

Accountability Responsibility and 

Disclosure Act of 2009, SBA submits the 

meeting minutes for the second meeting 

of the Small Business Information 

Security Task Force. Chairman Rusty 

Pickens called the meeting to order on 

November 10, 2010 at 1 p.m. Roll call 

was taken and a quorum was 

established. An overview of the last 

meeting was provided. Introductions 

were provided for Dr. Babita Gupta, and 

Katherine White, both of whom were 

unable to attend the first meeting. Dr. 

Gupta and Ms. White then each 

provided a brief overview to the group. 

Ms. Frances Henderson provided that 

the focus for today is on what resources 

the group will need going forward in 

terms of personnel, systems, and 

software as there will be lots of material 

to collate before being able to produce 

a final report. Input to define tasks and 

how to keep the group on schedule were 

sought. It was indicated the work plan 

will continue to be developed. 

Mr. Pickens recapped the Task Force 

scope of work and asked everyone to 

keep the charter readily available and to 

review Section 507 of the authorizing 

law as it provides the requirements for 

the work the Task Force has been 

directed to complete. The focus is to 

examine resources available nationwide 

for small business on privacy and 

technology concerns and then collate 

the data. A gap analysis then needs to 

be performed to determine how effective 

the programs are and provide a report to 

the Administrator with 

recommendations of what can be done 

to improve on them. The Task Force has 

until the end of 2013 to complete the 

report but it is hoped that the work 

could be completed sooner. It was also 

clarified that there is no authorization 

for the Task Force to establish any new 

programs; the Task Force has only been 

directed to report to the Administrator 

their recommendations.

A discussion was held on possible 

methodology for research and gap 

analysis. Solicitations on how to 

organize the gathered data and compile 

lists was sought. It was stated that it is 

important that topics don’t get missed 

during the first pass of data sorting. To 

help with this work, Mr. Michael 

Mitchell volunteered to be a liaison to 

the PCI Standards organization. He 

stated that they have a small business 

section with lots of potentially valuable 

information and would be happy to 

work with them on behalf of the Task 

Force to gather information from them. 

The discussion evolved into the need 

for resources and a software tool to 

capture, store, and list all of the 

gathered data. This discussion 

highlighted the need for qualitative 

caveats, as the amount of information 

such as certification and training 

resources could be enormous. The issue 

of funding and licenses for the purpose 

of this project was discussed. A 

question on Task Force funding was 

asked. Mr. Pickens stated that an 

appropriation of finances was included 

within the authorizing law to support 

the Task Force. Mr. Pickens agreed to 

consult the appropriate parties to 

determine if it was indeed allocated. 

During the open floor portion of the 

meeting, Mr. Terry Erdle volunteered to 

interface on behalf of CompTIA to the 

list of Trade Associations, as CompTIA 

functions both as a certifying body and 

a Trade Association for the computing 

technology industry itself. Mr. Aaron 

Berstein then volunteered to contact 

Microsoft to inquire into the possibility 

of Microsoft providing an online 

collaborative space software tool for use. 

Additionally, Dr. Babita Gupta 

volunteered to look at resources within 

the nonprofit and academia sectors for 

available research that would be helpful 

to the Task Force. 

At the conclusion of the meeting, 

everyone was instructed to take away 

the draft work plan handout as a starting 

point for brainstorming how to handle 

the task of gathering, sorting, and 

reporting back on the data. Responses 

on the document were requested to be 

provided to Mr. Pickens by Friday, 

December 3, 2010, who will then 

consolidate them all into a single 

document for discussion at the next 

meeting. 

The meeting was adjourned at 1:42 

p.m.

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA). 

ACTION: Notice of extension of the 

Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative. 

SUMMARY: This notice extends the 

Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative in 

its current form through December 31, 

2013. This pilot initiative, established in 

2007, was designed to increase lending 

to small businesses owned by members 

of the military community. It is based 

on the SBA Express model which uses 

streamlined documentation but 

provides a higher SBA guaranty of 85 

percent for loans of $150,000 or less and 

75 percent for loans greater than 

$150,000 up to $500,000. 

DATES: The Patriot Express Pilot Loan 

Initiative is extended through December 

31, 2013. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Grady B. Hedgespeth, Director, Office of 

Financial Assistance, U.S. Small 

Business Administration, 409 Third 

Street, SW., Washington, DC 20416; 

Telephone (202) 205–6490; 

grady.hedgespeth@sba.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative was 

established in 2007 and was based on 

the Agency’s SBA Express Program. 

Lenders approved for participation in 

Patriot Express are authorized to use the 

expedited loan processing procedures in 

place for SBA Express, in order to 

specifically support lending to small 

businesses owned by eligible members 

of the military community. To 

encourage lenders to make these loans, 

SBA provides its full 75–85 percent 

guaranty, rather than the 50 percent 

guaranty the Agency provides under 

SBA Express. Also, the maximum loan 

amount under this pilot initiative is 

$500,000. 

On June 22, 2007, SBA published a 

notice in the Federal Register 

announcing the program. (72 FR 34501) 

Since the program was implemented, 

more than 6,800 Patriot Express loans 

have been approved. SBA believes it is 

premature to assess the results of this 

pilot initiative at this time because most 

of the loans in this pilot were made in 

the last two years and there has not been 

sufficient time to measure their 

performance. An extension of this pilot 

for an additional three years will allow 

SBA time to better evaluate the results 

of the program and determine whether 

changes need to be made. 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 636(a)(25); 13 CFR 

120.3.
