Changes to Exchange Act Registration Requirements To Implement 
Title V and Title VI of the JOBS Act; Correction

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes technical corrections to a rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2016 (81 FR 28689). The 
Commission adopted revisions to Rule 12g-1 under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') in light of the statutory 
changes made by Title V and Title VI of the Jumpstart Our Business 
Startups Act and Title LXXXV of the Fixing America's Surface 
Transportation Act. This document is being published to correct 
language in that rule to more precisely reflect the holder of record 
threshold established by Exchange Act Section 12(g)(1).

DATES: Effective December 28, 2016.

Counsel, at (202) 551-3430, Division of Corporation Finance, Securities
