Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request; Revisions; Form 8–

A

Upon Written Request, Copies

Available From: Securities and

Exchange Commission, Office of Filings

and Information Services, Washington,

DC 20459.

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

requests for approval of revisions to the

following form:

Form 8–A is the special form for the

registration of additional classes or

series of securities by an issuer that is

required to file reports pursuant to

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’).

Form 8–A does not require as detailed

disclosure about the issuer’s business as

other Exchange Act registration forms

because it presupposes that more

detailed information is or will be

available through periodic reports

pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d). The

form currently contains a disclosure of

information concerning the particular

class of securities being registered. This

information may be provided by

incorporation by reference to a

comparable description contained in

any other filing with the Commission.

The Commission believes this

information is essential to a

determination by an investor of the

merits of the security.

The principal function of Commission

rules and forms under the securities

laws disclosure provisions is to make

information available to the securities

markets. Private contractors reproduce

much of the filed information directly

from the Commission’s public files.

Thus, information in filings on Form

8–A can be, and is, used by security

holders, investors, brokers, dealers,

investment banking firms, professional

securities analysts and others in

evaluating securities and making

investment and voting decisions with

respect to them. In addition, all

investors benefit indirectly from filings

on Form 8–A, as direct users of the

information in such filings effect

transactions in securities on the basis of

the current information included in

such filings, thereby causing the market

prices of the securities to reflect such

information.

On July 18, 1997, the Commission

adopted revisions to Form 8–A. As a

result of these revisions, the

Commission estimates that 1,940

respondents will file Form 8–A for a

total annual burden of 13,050 hours.

General comments regarding the

estimated burden hours should be

directed to the Desk Officer for the

Securities and Exchange Commission at

the address below. Any comments

concerning the accuracy of the

estimated average burden hours for

compliance with Commission rules and

forms should be directed to Michael E.

Bartell, Associate Executive Director,

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘’Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified securities

(‘‘Securities’’) from listing and

registration on the Boston Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’) or ‘‘Exchange’’).

The reasons cited in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

following:

According to the Company, the

Securities are listed on the Nasdaq

SmallCap Market and the BSE, pursuant

to a Registration Statement on Form F–

1 that was declared effective by the

Commission on April 2, 1996. The

issuer cannot justify the expense of

being listed on two exchanges and

therefore wishes to withdraw from the

BSE.

The Company has notified the BSE of

its intent to withdraw its Securities from

listing and registration. According to the

Company, the BSE has raised no

objection to the delistings.

Any interested person may, on or

before August 20, 1997, submit by letter

to the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

Hospitality Operating Company,

Common Stock, $.01 Par Value) File

No. 1–13898

July 30, 1997.

Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. and

Patriot American Hospitality Operating

Company (‘‘Company’’) have filed an

application with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’),

pursuant to Section 12(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’)

and Rule 12d2–2(d) promulgated

thereunder, to withdrawn the above

specified security (‘‘Security’’) from

listing and registration on the America

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’ or

‘‘Exchange’’).

The reasons cited in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

On July 1, 1997, the Company merged

with and into California Jockey Club

(‘‘Cal Jockey’’). Cal Jockey, the surviving

company, changed its name to Patriot

American Hospitality, Inc. Prior to the

merger, the common stock of Bay

Meadows Operating Company (‘‘Bay

Meadows’’) were paired and traded as a

single unit on the Amex.

As a condition of the Merger, the

Company agreed to list the paired shares

on the New York Stock Exchange

(‘‘NYSE’’). The post-merger paired

shares began trading on the NYSE on

July 2, 1997. In determining to

withdraw the security from listing, the

Company considered the added costs of

being listed on both the Amex and the

NYSE and the added difficulty of

complying with the reporting and other

requirements of the two exchanges.

The Company complied with Rule 18

of the Amex by filing with the Amex a

certified copy of preambles and

resolutions adopted by the respective

Boards of Directors prior to the merger,

which authorized the withdrawal of the

pre-merger paired shares from listing on

the Amex and by setting forth in detail

to the Amex the reasons for such

proposed withdrawal, and the facts in

support thereof. By letter dated July 1,

1997, the Amex informed the Company

that the Exchange does not intend to

object to the Company’s filing of an

application to withdraw its Security

from listing and registration.

Any interested person may, on or

before August 20, 1997, submit by letter

to the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchange 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.

authority.
