 Securities and Exchange Commission [Securities Exchange Act of 1934  Release No. 58724/October 2, 2008]
 Pursuant to Section 12(k)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”),[1]
                    
                     on September 18, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) issued an Emergency Order,[2]
                    
                     as amended on September 21, 2008 (the “Order”),[3]
                    
                     requiring institutional investment managers to report short sales of certain publicly traded securities. That Order took effect on September 22, 2008, and required the filing of a Form SH on September 29, 2008. The Order is currently set to terminate on October 2, 2008. Pursuant to its authority under Section 12(k)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act, the Commission is extending the Order. Section 12(k)(2)(C) authorizes the Commission to extend an emergency order issued pursuant to Section 12(k)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act for a total effective period of up to 30 calendar days, if the Commission finds that the emergency still exists and determines that an extension is necessary in the public interest and for the protection of investors to maintain fair and orderly securities markets. As a result of the extension, Forms SH shall be required to be filed on October 6, 2008, and October 14, 2008.[4]
                    
                     The Commission is also making technical amendments to Form SH and its accompanying Instructions. The Commission continues to be concerned about the potential for sudden and excessive fluctuations of securities prices and disruption in the functioning of the securities markets that could threaten fair and orderly markets. The Commission also continues to believe that some persons may take advantage of issuers that have become temporarily weakened by current market conditions to engage in inappropriate short selling in the securities of such issuers. Therefore, the Commission has concluded that it remains necessary to require certain institutional investment managers to report information concerning short sales of securities. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that extending the Order is necessary in the public interest and for the protection of investors to maintain fair and orderly securities markets. The Commission believes that the nonpublic submission of Form SH may help prevent artificial volatility in securities as well as further downward swings that are caused by short selling, while at the same time, providing the Commission with useful information to combat market manipulation that threatens investors and capital markets. Also, the Commission has considered further the reasons to maintain the information as nonpublic in the current market environment, and is concerned that publicly available Form SH data could give rise to additional, imitative short selling that was not intended by the Commission's Order. Accordingly, the Commission has determined that Forms SH filed under the Order including those that were due on September 29, 2008, will remain nonpublic to the extent permitted by law without the filer needing to submit a confidential treatment request. *Therefore, it is ordered,*
                     pursuant to Section 12(k)(2)(C) of the Exchange Act, that the Order is extended such that it will terminate at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, October 17, 2008. By the Commission. Florence E. Harmon, Acting Secretary.
 Form SH—Information Required of Institutional Investment Managers Pursuant to Emergency Order, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 58591a, September 21, 2008, and Emergency Order, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 58724, October 2, 2008 General Instructions 1. 
                        *Rule as to Use of Form SH.*
                         Institutional investment managers (“Managers”) must use Form SH for reports to the Commission required by the Commission's Emergency Order, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Release No. 58591A, September 21, 2008, and Emergency Order, Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58724, dated October 2, 2008 (together, the “Form SH Emergency Orders”). The Form SH Emergency Orders provide that every Manager that exercises investment discretion with respect to accounts holding section 13(f) securities, as defined in rule 13f-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 [15 U.S.C. 78m(f)] (“Exchange Act”), who has filed or was required to file a Form 13F for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2008, must file a non-public report on Form SH with the Commission to report certain information about short sales and short positions. The non-public Form SH filing must be made on the Monday (or, if Monday is a federal holiday, the first business day thereafter) of each calendar week immediately following a Form SH reporting period (i.e., the preceding Sunday-Saturday calendar week) in which the Manager has entered into any new short positions with respect to any section 13(f) securities except for any short position(s) for options (“SH Short Positions”). The non-public Form SH will report SH Short Positions for the Sunday-Saturday calendar week that precedes the date on which the Form SH is due to be filed. 2. 
                        *Rules to Prevent Duplicative Reporting.*
                         If two or more Managers, each of which is required by the Form SH Emergency Orders to file a report on Form SH for the reporting period, exercise investment discretion with respect to the same securities, only one such Manager must include information in its reports on Form SH. A Manager having information that is required by the Form SH Emergency Orders to be reported on Form SH, and such information is reported by another Manager (or Managers), such Manager must identify the Manager(s) reporting on its behalf in the manner described in Special Instruction 6. 3. 
                        *Filing of Form SH.*
                         A Form SH report that is filed by a Manager with the Commission shall be non-public upon filing. A Manager must label its Form SH as non-public by adding the phrase NON-PUBLIC (in bold and capital letters) at the top and bottom of each page of the entire form, 
                        *i.e.,*
                         each page(s) of the Form SH Cover Page (the “Cover Page”), the Form SH Summary Page (the “Summary Page”), and the Form SH Information Table (the “Information Table”). A Manager must file a Form SH report with the Commission on or before 5:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on the Monday (or, if Monday is a federal holiday, the first business day thereafter) of each week immediately following the preceding seven calendar day period in which the Manager has entered into any new SH Short Position(s). The Form SH must be filed electronically using the Commission's EDGAR system. 4. 
                        *Official List of Section 13(f) Securities.*
                         The official list of section 13(f) securities published by the Commission (the “13F List”) lists the securities the holdings of which a Manager is to report on Form 13F. 
                        *See*
                         rule 13f-1(c) [17 CFR 240.13f-1(c)]. Form SH filers may rely on the current 13F List in determining whether they need to report on Form SH information about any particular equity security, excluding short positions for options that are on the 13F List. The 13F List 
                        ( print page 58988)
                        is available on the SEC's Web site, at 
                        *http://www.sec.gov/​divisions/​investment/​13flists.htm.*
                         Paper copies are available at a reasonable fee from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549.

Place all additional information after the signature of the person signing the report (immediately preceding the Report Type section). Do not include any additional information on the Summary Page or in the Information Table. 6.

The List of Other Managers cannot include the Manager filing this report. *Information Table:* 9. In determining the fair market value of securities sold short, a Manager must use the market price of the section 13(f) securities as of the close of floor trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the day in question. If the securities are sold short on a non-business day, a Manager must use the market price of the section 13(f) securities as of the close of the NYSE for the most recent business day. Such market closing time shall be used to determine the price for all SH Short Positions, irrespective of which U.S. equity market the issuer trades on. Enter values rounded to the nearest one thousand dollars (with “000” omitted). 10. Furnish the Information Table using the table title, column headings and format provided.
