(SR–NYSEArca–2008–25) (approving the listing and 

trading of shares of the PowerShares Active AlphaQ 

Fund, the PowerShares Active Alpha Multi-Cap

of this proposal, the Exchange has made 

the following representations: 

(1) The Shares will conform to the 

initial and continued listing criteria 

under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600. 

(2) The Exchange’s surveillance 

procedures are adequate to properly 

monitor Exchange trading of the Shares 

in all trading sessions and to deter and 

detect violations of Exchange rules and 

applicable federal securities laws. 

(3) Prior to the commencement of 

trading, the Exchange will inform its 

ETP Holders in a Bulletin of the special 

characteristics and risks associated with 

trading the Shares. Specifically, the 

Information Circular will discuss the 

following: (a) The procedures for 

purchases and redemptions of Shares in 

Creation Unit aggregations (and that 

Shares are not individually redeemable); 

(b) NYSE Arca Equities Rule 9.2(a), 

which imposes a duty of due diligence 

on its ETP Holders to learn the essential 

facts relating to every customer prior to 

trading the Shares; (c) the risks involved 

in trading the Shares during the 

Opening and Late Trading Sessions 

when an updated PIV will not be 

calculated or publicly disseminated; (d) 

how information regarding the PIV is 

disseminated; (e) the requirement that 

ETP Holders deliver a prospectus to 

investors purchasing newly issued 

Shares prior to or concurrently with the 

confirmation of a transaction; and (f) 

trading information. 

(4) The Fund will be in compliance 

with Rule 10A–3 under the Act,23 as 

provided by NYSE Arca Equities Rule 

5.3. 

(5) The Fund will not purchase or sell 

securities in markets outside the United 

States. This approval order is based on 

the Exchange’s representations. 

For the foregoing reasons, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) of the Act 24 and the rules and 

regulations thereunder applicable to a 

national securities exchange. 

III. Accelerated Approval 

The Commission finds good cause, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 

Act,25 for approving the proposal prior 

to the thirtieth day after the date of 

publication of the Notice in the Federal 

Register. The Commission notes that it 

has approved the listing and trading on 

the Exchange of shares of other actively 

managed exchange-traded funds that are 

similar to the Shares of the Fund 26 and 

that it has received no comments 

regarding the proposed rule change. The 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change does not raise any novel 

regulatory issues and believes that 

accelerating approval of this proposal 

should benefit investors by creating, 

without undue delay, additional 

competition in the market for Managed 

Fund Shares. 

IV. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,27 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca– 

2008–85) be, and it hereby is, approved 

on an accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.28

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Gulf Opportunity Pilot Loan Program 

(GO Loan Pilot) 

AGENCY: U.S. Small Business 

Administration (SBA). 

ACTION: Notice of extension of waiver of 

regulatory provisions. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

extension of the ‘‘Notice of waiver of 

regulatory provisions’’ for SBA’s GO 

Loan Pilot until September 30, 2009. 

Due to the scope and magnitude of the 

devastation to Presidentially-declared 

disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes 

Katrina and Rita, the Agency is 

extending its full guaranty and 

streamlined and centralized loan 

processing available through the GO 

Loan Pilot to the small businesses in the 

eligible parishes/counties through 

September 30, 2009. 

DATES: The waiver of regulatory 

provisions published in the Federal 

Register on November 17, 2005, is 

extended under this notice until 

September 30, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Charles Thomas, Office of 

FinancialAssistance, U.S. Small 

Business Administration, 409 Third 

Street, SW.,Washington, DC 20416; 

Telephone (202) 205–6490; 

charles.thomas@sba.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

November 8, 2005, SBA initiated, on an 

emergency basis, the GO Loan Pilot 

which was designed to provide 

expedited small business financial 

assistance to businesses located in those 

communities severely impacted by 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Under this 

unique initiative, SBA provides its full 

(85%) guaranty and streamlined and 

centralized loan processing to all 

eligible lenders that agree to make 

expedited SBA 7(a) loans available to 

small businesses located in, locating to 

or re-locating in the parishes/counties 

that have been Presidentially-declared 

as disaster areas resulting from 

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, plus any 

contiguous parishes/counties. 

To maximize the effectiveness of the 

GO Loan Pilot, on November 17, 2005, 

SBA published a notice in the Federal 

Register waiving for the GO Loan Pilot 

certain Agency regulations for the 7(a) 

Business Loan Program. (70 FR 69645). 

Since the pilot was designed as a 

temporary program scheduled to expire 

on September 30, 2006, and was 

extended to September 30, 2008, the 

waiver of certain Agency regulations 

also is due to expire on September 30, 

2008. However, the Agency believes that 

there is a continuing, substantial need 

for the specific SBA assistance provided 

by this pilot in the affected areas. As 

part of a comprehensive federal 

initiative to assist in the continuing 

recovery of these highly devastated 

communities, the Agency believes it is 

essential that SBA extend this unique 

and vital program through September 

30, 2009. Accordingly, the SBA is also 

extending its waiver of the Agency 

regulations identified in the Federal 

Register notice at 70 FR 69645 through 

September 30, 2009. 

SBA’s waiver of these provisions is 

authorized by regulations. These 

waivers apply only to those loans 

approved under the GO Loan Pilot and 

will last only for the duration of the 

Pilot, which expires September 30, 

2009. As part of the GO Loan Pilot, 

these waivers apply only to those small 

businesses located in, locating to or relocating in the parishes/counties that 

have been Presidentially-declared as 

disaster areas resulting from Hurricanes 

Katrina or Rita, plus any contiguous 

parishes/counties. (A list of all eligible 

parishes/counties is located at http://
