SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: Form T–6, OMB Control No. 

3235–0391, SEC File No. 270–344. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Form T–6 (17 CFR 269.9) is a 

statement of eligibility and qualification 

for a foreign corporate trustee under the 

Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 

77aaa et seq.). Form T–6 provides the 

basis for determining if the foreign 

corporate trustee is qualified. Form T– 

6 is filed on occasion. The information 

collected must be filed with the 

Commission and is publicly available. 

Form T–6 takes approximately 17 

burden hours per response and is filed 

by approximately 15 respondents 

annually. We estimate that 25% of the 

17 hours (4.25 hours) is prepared by the 

filer for an annual reporting burden of 

64 hours (4.25 hours per response × 15 

responses). 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

control number. 

Written comments regarding the 

above information should be directed to 

the following persons: (i) Desk Officer 

for the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10102, 

New Executive Office Building, 

Washington, DC 20503 or send an email to Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; 

and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/CIO, 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432 General 

Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312; 

or send an e-mail to: 

PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must 

be submitted to OMB within 30 days of 

this notice. 

Dated: September 8, 2009.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–60643; File No. 4–590] 

Securities Lending and Short Sale 

Roundtable 

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Commission will host a 

one and a half day roundtable to solicit 

the views of investors, issuers, financial 

services firms, self-regulatory 

organizations and the academic 

community regarding securities lending 

and short sales. The roundtable will 

include a comprehensive overview of 

securities lending and also analyze 

possible short sale pre-borrowing 

requirements and additional short sale 

disclosures. 

The roundtable discussion will be 

held in the auditorium of the Securities 

and Exchange Commission headquarters 

at 100 F Street, NE., in Washington, DC 

on September 29, 2009 from 9:30 a.m. 

to approximately 4 p.m. (securities 

lending) and September 30, 2009 from 

9:30 a.m. to approximately 12:30 p.m. 

(pre-borrowing and possible additional 

short sale disclosures). The public is 

invited to observe the roundtable 

discussion. Seating will be available on 

a first-come, first-served basis. The 

roundtable discussion also will be 

available via Web cast on the 

Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.sec.gov. 

The roundtable will consist of panels 

focused on securities lending and 

possible short sale pre-borrowing 

requirements and additional short sale 

disclosures. The panelists will consider 

a range of securities lending topics, such 

as current lending practices and 

participants, compensation 

arrangements and conflicts, the benefits 

and risks of securities lending, risks 

related to cash collateral reinvestment, 

improvements to transparency, and 

consideration of whether the securities 

lending regulatory regime can be 

improved for the benefit of investors. 

The panelists will also consider short 

sale disclosure topics, such as whether 

investors would benefit from adding a 

short sale indicator to the tapes to 

which transactions are reported for 

exchange-listed securities, and requiring 

public disclosure of individual large 

short positions. In addition, the 

panelists will evaluate the potential 

impact of imposing a pre-borrow or 

enhanced ‘‘locate’’ requirement on short 

sellers, potentially on a pilot basis, as a 

way to curtail abusive ‘‘naked’’ short 

selling. 

DATES: The roundtable discussion will 

take place on September 29, 2009 

(securities lending) and September 30, 

2009 (pre-borrowing and possible 

additional short sale disclosures). The 

Commission will accept comments 

regarding issues addressed in the 

roundtable discussion until October 30, 

2009.
