SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Sunshine Act Meeting Notice 

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 

the provisions of the Government in the 

Sunshine Act, Public Law 94–409, that 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission will hold an Open Meeting 

on January 11, 2010 at 9:30 a.m., in the 

Auditorium, Room L–002, to hear oral 

argument in an appeal by Diane M. 

Keefe (‘‘Keefe’’), a former employee of 

Pax World Management Corp. (‘‘Pax 

Management’’), a registered investment 

adviser, from the decision of an 

administrative law judge. The law judge 

found that Keefe, a portfolio manager of 

the Pax World High Yield Fund 

(‘‘Fund’’), an investment company 

registered with the Commission and 

advised by Pax Management, willfully 

violated Section 34(b) of the Investment 

Company Act of 1940. The law judge 

suspended Keefe for twelve months 

from association with an investment 

adviser, broker, or dealer. 

Among the issues likely to be argued 

are whether Keefe willfully violated 

Investment Company Act Section 34(b) 

and, if so, whether and to what extent 

sanctions should be imposed on her. 

Commissioner Paredes, as duty 

officer, determined that no earlier notice 

thereof was possible. 

At times, changes in Commission 

priorities require alterations in the 

scheduling of meeting items. 

For further information and to 

ascertain what, if any, matters have been 

added, deleted or postponed, please

Termination of Ineligible Status and 

Statutory Debarment Pursuant to 

Section 38(g)(4) of the Arms Export 

Control Act and Section 127.7 of the 

International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations for Earlene Christenson 

(a.k.a. Earlene Larson Christenson; 

Earlene Larson) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of State has terminated 

the ineligible status and statutory 

debarment of Earlene Christenson (a.k.a. 

Earlene Larson Christenson; Earlene 

Larson), pursuant to section 38(g)(4) of 

the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) (22 

U.S.C. 2778(g)(4)) and section 127.7 of 

the International Traffic in Arms 

Regulations (ITAR). 

DATES: Effective Date: January 7, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Daniel J. Buzby, Acting Director, Office 

of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, 

Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, 

Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, 

Department of State (202) 663–2812. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 127.7 

of the ITAR prohibit the issuance of 

export licenses or other approvals to a 

person if that person, or any party to the 

export, has been convicted of violating 

the AECA and certain other U.S. 

criminal statutes enumerated at section 

38(g)(1) of the AECA and section 120.27 

of the ITAR. Such individuals are 

considered ineligible in accordance 

with section 120.1 of the ITAR. Also, a 

person convicted of violating the AECA 

is subject to statutory debarment under 

section 127.7 of the ITAR. 

In September 2003, Earlene 

Christenson was statutorily debarred 

pursuant to section 127.7 of the ITAR. 

Ms. Christenson was thus prohibited 

from participating directly or indirectly 

in exports of defense articles and 

defense services. Notice of debarment 

was published in the Federal Register 

(68 FR 52436, September 3, 2003). 

In accordance with section 38(g)(4) of 

the AECA and section 127.7 of the 

ITAR, the statutory debarment may be 

terminated after consultation with other 

appropriate U.S. agencies, after a 

thorough review of the circumstances 

surrounding the conviction, and a 

finding that appropriate steps have been 

taken to mitigate any law enforcement 

concerns. Ms. Christenson, even after 

reinstatement, will not be eligible to 

participate directly or indirectly in any 

activities regulated under the ITAR

cannot abandon the line until its subsidiary, The 

Indiana Rail Road Company (INRD) discontinues 

service under the trackage rights it obtained in the 

The Indiana Rail Road Company—Acquisition— 

Soo Line Railroad Company, STB Finance Docket 

No. 34783 (STB served Apr. 11, 2006). 

2Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and 

not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and 

public use conditions are not appropriate. 

Similarly, no environmental or historic 

documentation is required under 49 CFR 

1105.6(c)(2) and 1105.8. 

without prior approval from the 

Department of State. The Department of 

State has reviewed the circumstances 

and consulted with other appropriate 

U.S. agencies, and has determined that 

efforts necessary to prevent future ITAR 

violations have been taken. Therefore, 

in accordance with section 38(g)(4) of 

the AECA and section 127.7 of the 

ITAR, the statutory debarment is 

rescinded, effective January 7, 2010. 

Dated: July 27, 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Environmental Impact Statement: 

Sherburne and Stearns Counties, MN 

AGENCY: Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to terminate 

Tier I EIS. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this 

notice to advise the public that the Tier 

I Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

process for a proposed east/west minor 

arterial connection between Trunk 

Highway (TH) 15 and TH 10, including 

a crossing of the Mississippi River, in an 

area south of 10th Street South and 

north of Interstate 94 in the St. Cloud 

Metropolitan Area, Sherburne and 

Stearns Counties, Minnesota is 

terminated. The original Notice of Intent 

for this Tier I EIS process was published 

in the Federal Register on December 26, 

2002. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cheryl Martin, Environmental and Civil 

Rights Specialist, Federal Highway 

Administration, Galtier Plaza, Suite 500, 

380 Jackson Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 

55101, Telephone (651) 291–6120; or 

Scott Mareck, Executive Director and 

Transportation Planning Manager, St. 

Cloud Area Planning Organization, 1040 

County Road Four, St. Cloud, Minnesota 

56303, Telephone (320) 252–7568. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

FHWA, in cooperation with the St. 

Cloud Area Planning Organization and 

Stearns and Sherburne Counties, has 

terminated the Tier I EIS process begun 

in 2002 to address the need for 

improved east/west minor arterial 

continuity, land use and trip generation 

growth, and forecasted 2025 congestion 

on existing bridges. The purpose of the 

Tier I EIS was to preserve right of way 

for the proposed highway improvement, 

including a crossing of the Mississippi 

River. The Scoping Decision Document 

for the project was approved by Stearns 

and Sherburne Counties on June 14, 

2005 and April 21, 2005, respectively. 

An Amended Scoping Decision 

Document for the project was approved 

by Stearns and Sherburne Counties on 

September 8, 2006 and September 15, 

2006, respectively. The conclusion of 

the Amended Scoping Decision 

Document was to separate the project 

into two independent projects by 

dividing the project at the intersection 

of Stearns County State Aid Highway 

(CSAH) 75. The first of these two 

projects (the 33rd Street Project), will 

extend from TH 15 easterly along 

existing 33rd Street South to its junction 

with CSAH 75. The second project (the 

Mississippi River Crossing Project) will 

extend from CSAH 75 easterly to TH 10 

in Sherburne County. On October 3, 

2006, the St. Cloud Area Planning 

Organization notified Federal, State and 

local agencies; interested parties; and 

the public that work on the 33rd Street 

Project would proceed as an 

Environmental Assessment and that the 

Tier I EIS for the Mississippi River 

Crossing Project would proceed at an 

undetermined future date. Therefore, 

the EIS for this project has been 

terminated.
