SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64102]

Order Cancelling Registrations of Certain Transfer Agents

March 21, 2011.
    On November 4, 2010, notice was published in the Federal Register 
that the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') intended 
to issue an order, pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities 
Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\ cancelling the registrations of certain 
transfer agents.\2\ For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is 
cancelling the registration of the transfer agents identified in the 
attached Appendix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(c)(4)(B).
    \2\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63211 (Oct. 29, 2010), 
75 FR 68012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For Further Information Contact: Jerry W. Carpenter, Assistant 
Director, or David Karasik, Special Counsel, at (202) 551-5710, U.S. 
Securities and Exchange Commission, Division of Trading and Markets, 
Room 7321 SP1, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549-7010, or by e-
mail at tradingandmarkets@sec.gov with the phrase ``Notice of Intention 
To Cancel Transfer Agent Registration'' in the subject line.

Background:

    Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act provides that if the Commission 
finds that any transfer agent registered with the Commission is no 
longer in existence or has ceased to do business as a transfer agent, 
the Commission shall by order cancel that transfer agent's 
registration. On November 4, 2010, the Commission published notice of 
its intention to cancel the registration of certain transfer agents 
whom it believed were no longer in existence or had ceased doing 
business as transfer agents.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the notice, the Commission identified 45 such transfer agents 
and stated that at any time after December 15, 2010, which was 41 days 
after the notice was published in the Federal Register, the Commission 
intended to issue an order canceling the registrations of any or all of 
the identified transfer agents. Three transfer agents contacted the 
Commission to object to the cancellation of their registrations stating 
that they have not ceased doing business as a transfer agent. The 
Commission has decided not to cancel the registration of these three 
transfer agents at this time. Two other transfer agents contacted the 
Commission regarding the cancellation of their registrations but did 
not object to such cancellation. None of the remaining 40 identified 
transfer agents contacted the Commission to object to the cancellation 
of their registrations.
    Accordingly, the Commission is cancelling the registrations of the 
42 transfer agents identified in the Appendix attached to this Order.

Order

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that each of 
the transfer agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix either 
is no longer in existence or has ceased doing business as a transfer 
agent.
    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Act 
that the registration as a transfer agent of each of the transfer 
agents whose name appears in the attached Appendix be and hereby is 
cancelled.

    For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets 
pursuant to delegated authority.\4\
