FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry W. Carpenter, Assistant 
Director, or Gregory J. Dumark, Staff Attorney, at 202/942-4187, 
Division of Market Regulation, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-1001.

Background and Discussion

    Section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Exchange 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 May 12, 1999, the Commission issued a Notice of

[[Page 41984]]

Intention to Cancel Registrations of Certain Transfer Agents which 
identified 14 transfer agents that the Commission believed were no 
longer in existence or had ceased doing business as transfer agents. 
The Notice stated that at any time after June 20, 1999, which was 30 
days after the Notice was published in the Federal Register, the 
Commission intended to issue an order cancelling the registrations of 
any or all of the identified transfer agents. None of the 14 identified 
transfer agents have contacted the Commission to object to the 
cancellation of its registration.
    Accordingly, the Commission is cancelling the registration of each 
of the identified 14 transfer agents.

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 
Exchange Act, that the registration of each of the transfer agents 
whose name appears in the attached Appendix be and hereby is canceled.

    For the Commission by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\3\
