market. The Commission further notes 

that eligible, round-lot market and limit 

orders would be eligible to be 

automatically matched against other 

eligible orders at the opening price, 

without the participation of the Directed 

Specialist. The Commission believes 

that the proposal, by providing the 

proposed matching feature for eligible 

customer orders, appears to be 

reasonably designed to increase the 

automated handling of customer orders 

at the opening and reduce the risk of 

specialists trading ahead of customer 

orders. The Commission notes that the 

Exchange has represented that the 

proposal excludes order types involving 

odd-lots (odd-lot orders, partial roundlot all-or-none orders, and the odd-lot 

portion of partial round-lot eligible 

orders) from the proposed matching 

feature because such orders could 

otherwise match against round-lot 

orders, thereby generating a succession 

of additional odd-lots and transaction 

receipts, which would impose an undue 

transaction cost burden on firms 

entering round-lot orders. The 

Commission also notes that the 

Exchange has represented that all-ornone orders are not eligible for the 

proposed matching feature when a 

single contra-side order with sufficient 

volume is not available in order that, in 

keeping with the terms of all-or-none 

orders, such orders may be filled 

through a single execution. The 

Commission notes that the Directed 

Specialist would be obligated to execute 

all orders that are eligible for an 

automatic execution guarantee but that 

are ineligible for the proposed matching 

feature. The Commission also notes that 

the Directed Specialist is responsible for 

providing executions for any imbalance 

of orders that result from the matching 

feature. The Commission believes that 

the proposal appears to be reasonably 

designed to ensure the execution of 

orders entitled to an automatic 

execution guarantee, address the 

concerns of the Exchange’s customers, 

and promote efficient executions. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,12 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2005–

14), as amended, be, and it hereby is, 

approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.13

Administration (SBA). 

ACTION: Notice of Pilot Program 

extension. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

extension of SBA’s CommunityExpress 

Pilot Program until November 30, 2005. 

This extension will allow time for SBA 

to complete its decisionmaking 

regarding potential modifications and 

enhancements to the Program. 

DATES: The CommunityExpress Pilot 

Program is extended under this notice 

until November 30, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

CommunityExpress Pilot Program was 

established in 1999 as a subprogram of 

the Agency’s SBAExpress Pilot Program. 

Lenders approved for participation in 

CommunityExpress are authorized to 

use the expedited loan processing 

procedures in place for the SBAExpress 

Pilot Program, but the loans approved 

under this Program must be to 

distressed or underserved markets. To 

encourage lenders to make these loans, 

SBA provides its standard 75–85 

percent guaranty, which contrasts to the 

50 percent guaranty the Agency 

provides under SBAExpress. However, 

under CommunityExpress, participating 

lenders must arrange and, when 

necessary, pay for appropriate technical 

assistance for any borrowers under the 

program. Maximum loan amounts under 

this Program are limited to $250,000. 

The extension of this Program until 

November 30, 2005, will allow SBA to 

more fully evaluate the results and 

impact of the Program and to consider 

possible changes and enhancements to 

the Program. It will also allow SBA to 

further consult with its lending partners 

and the small business community 

about the Program.

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Identification of Countries Under 

Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974: 

Request for Public Comment 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative 

ACTION: Request for written submissions 

from the public. 

SUMMARY: Section 182 of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2242), 

requires the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) to identify 

countries that deny adequate and 

effective protection of intellectual 

property rights or deny fair and 

equitable market access to U.S. persons 

who rely on intellectual property 

protection. Section 182 is commonly 

referred to as the ‘‘Special 301’’

provision of the Trade Act. In addition, 

USTR is required to determine which of 

those countries should be identified as 

Priority Foreign Countries. On April 30, 

2005, USTR announced the results of 

the 2005 Special 301 review and stated 

that Out-of-Cycle Reviews (OCRs) 

would be conducted for Russia, Canada, 

Indonesia and the Philippines. USTR 

will conduct these OCRs in early 2006. 

USTR requests written comments from 

the public concerning the acts, policies, 

and practices relevant for this review 

under Section 182 of the Trade Act. 

DATES: Submissions must be received on 

or before 5 p.m. on Friday, December 2, 

2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to Sybia Harrison, Special 

Assistant to the Section 301 Committee, 

and sent (i) electronically, to 

FR0528@ustr.gov, with ‘‘Special 301 

Out-of-Cycle Review: Russia, Canada, 

Indonesia and the Philippines’’ in the 

subject line, or (ii) by fax, to (202) 395–

9458, with a confirmation copy sent 

electronically to the e-mail address 

above. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Choe Groves, Director for 

Intellectual Property and Chair of the 

Special 301 Committee, Office of the 

United States Trade Representative, 

(202) 395–4510. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Section 182 of the Trade Act, USTR 

must identify those countries that deny 

adequate and effective protection for 

intellectual property rights or deny fair 

and equitable market access to U.S. 

persons who rely on intellectual 

property protection. Those countries 

that have the most onerous or egregious 

acts, policies, or practices and whose 

acts, policies, or practices have the 

greatest adverse impact (actual or 

potential) on relevant U.S. products may 

be identified as Priority Foreign 

Countries. Acts, policies, or practices 

that are the basis of a country’s 

designation as a Priority Foreign 

Country are normally the subject of an 

investigation under the Section 301 

provisions of the Trade Act. 

On April 30, 2005, USTR announced 

the results of the 2005 Special 301 

review, including an announcement that 

Out-of-Cycle Reviews (OCRs) would be 

conducted for Russia, Canada, Indonesia 

and the Philippines. Additional 

countries may also be reviewed as a 

result of the comments received 

pursuant to this notice, or as warranted 

by events. 

Requirements for Comments 

Comments should include a 

description of the problems 

experienced, and the effect of the acts, 

policies, and practices on U.S. industry. 

Comments should be as detailed as 

possible and should provide all 

necessary information for assessing the 

effect of the acts, policies, and practices. 

Any comments that include quantitative 

loss claims should be accompanied by 

the methodology used in calculating 

such estimated losses. 

Comments must be in English. No 

submissions will be accepted via postal 

service mail. Documents should be 

submitted as either WordPerfect, MS 

Word, or text (.TXT) files. Supporting 

documentation submitted as 

spreadsheets are acceptable as Quattro 

Pro or Excel files. A submitter 

requesting that information contained in 

a comment be treated as confidential 

business information must certify that 

such information is business 

confidential and would not customarily 

be released to the public by the 

submitter. A non-confidential version of 

the comment must also be provided. For 

any document containing business 

confidential information, the file name 

of the business confidential version 

should begin with the characters ‘‘BC-’’, 

and the file name of the public version 

should begin with the character ‘‘P-’’. 

The ‘‘P-’’ or ‘‘BC-’’ should be followed 

by the name of the submitter. 

Submissions should not include 

separate cover letters; information that 

might appear in a cover letter should be 

included in the submission itself. To the 

extent possible, any attachments to the 

submission should be included in the 

same file as the submission itself, and 

not as separate files. 

All comments should be addressed to 

Sybia Harrison, Special Assistant to the 

Section 301 Committee, and sent (i) 

electronically, to FR0528@ustr.gov, with 

‘‘Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review: 

Russia, Canada, Indonesia and the
