SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

[File No. 1–07953]

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (Rio Algom Limited,

Common Shares, No Par Value, and

Associated Common Share Purchase

Rights)

June 15, 2000.

Rio Algom Limited (‘‘Company’’) has

filed an application with the Securities

and Exchange Commission

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section

12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of

1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d)

thereunder,2 to withdraw its Common

Shares, no par value, and associated

Common Share Purchase Rights

(referred to collectively herein as the

‘‘Securities’’),3 from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’).

The Company, which is based in

Toronto, Ontario, and whose Securities

are listed in Canada on the Toronto

Stock Exchange, has effected a new

listing for its Securities on the New

York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’). Trading

in the Securities on the NYSE

commenced, and was concurrently

suspended on the Amex, at the opening

of business on June 8, 2000. The

Company’s Registration Statement on

Form 8–A with respect to the NYSE

listing became effective on June 1, 2000.

The Company has obtained a listing of

its Securities on the NYSE in hopes of,

among other things, increasing the

potential liquidity for its Common

Shares.

On February 16, 2000, the Company’s

board of directors approved a resolution

authorizing the withdrawal of the

Securities from listing and registration

on the Amex. The Amex has in turn

advised the Company that its

application for such withdrawal has

been made in accordance with the rules

of the Amex and that the Amex would

not object to such withdrawal, pending

its final approval by the Commission. In

the light of the new listing of the

Securities on the NYSE, the Amex has

not required the Company to notify its

shareholders of its intention to

withdraw the Securities from listing and

registration on the Amex.

The Company has stated that its

application relates solely to the

withdrawal of the Securities from listing

and registration on the Amex and shall

have no effect upon the Securities’

continued listing and registration on the

NYSE under Section 12(b) of the Act.4

Any interested person may, on or

before July 7, 2000, submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549–0609, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the Amex and what terms, if

any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.5

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Bureau for International Narcotics and

Law Enforcement Affairs

(Public Notice 3339)

International Demand Reduction

Program (IDR)

AGENCY: Office of Europe, NIS, and

Training; Bureau for International

Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs,

State

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: State Department’s Bureau for

International Narcotics and Law

Enforcement Affairs (INL) developed the

International Demand Reduction

program (IDR) in 1978 to assist foreign

countries to mobilize public and private

sectors in effective support of national

narcotic control policies and programs.

The program was enhanced in 1990 to

assist foreign countries with the

development of self-sustaining

prevention, education, and treatment

programs. The goal of the program is to

enhance foreign political determination

to combat illegal drug abuse and

convince governments to dedicate

sufficient resources to effectively fight

this problem.

The IDR program has been modified

to include the participation of nonFederal agencies (e.g., universities, non

profit organizations) in the design and

implementation of research and

evaluation studies on these programs.

This component of the IDR program has

a timeframe of 2000–2003.

DATES: Strict deadlines for submission

to the FY 2000 process are: Full

proposals must be received at INL no

later than Friday, July 28. Letters of

intent will not be required. We

anticipate that review of full proposals

will occur during August 2000 and

funding should begin during September

of 2000 for most approved projects.

September 25, 2000 should be used as

the proposed start date on proposals,

unless otherwise directed by a program

manager. Applicants should be notified
