SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-42039]


Notice of Intention To Cancel Registrations of Certain Transfer 
Agents

October 20, 1999.
    Notice is given that the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') intends To issue an order, pursuant to section 
17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act),\1\ 
cancelling the registrations of the transfer agents whose names appear 
in the attached Appendix.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(c)(4)(B).

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

Background

    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. Accordingly, at any time after November 29, 1999, the 
Commission intends to issue an order cancelling the registrations of 
any or all of the transfer agents listed in the Appendix.
    The Commission has made efforts to locate and determine the status 
of each of the transfer agents listed in the Appendix. In some cases, 
the Commission was unable to locate the transfer agent, and in other 
cases, the Commission learned that the transfer agent was no longer in 
existence or had ceased doing business. Based on the facts it has, the 
Commission believes that the transfer agents listed in the Appendix are 
no longer in existence or have ceased doing business as a transfer 
agent.
    Any transfer agent listed in the Appendix that believes its 
registration should not be cancelled must notify the Commission in 
writing prior to November 29, 1999. Written notifications must be 
mailed to: Gregory J. Dumark, Division of Market Regulation, Securities 
and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 
20549-1001, or be sent by facsimile to Gregory J. Dumark at (202) 942-
9695.

    For the Commission by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\2\
