and Registration; (Boulder Total Return Fund, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 
Par Value) File No. 1-11652

February 6, 2001.
    Boulder Total Return Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation 
(``Company''), has filed an application with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange 
(``PCX'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Security is currently listed and registered on both the PCX and 
the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''). The Company has determined to 
maintain the Security's listing and registration on the NYSE, but to 
withdraw its listing and registration on the PCX. In explaining its 
reasons for taking such action, the Company stated that the low volume 
of shares traded on the PCX does not justify the costs incurred through 
maintaining such listing.
    The Company has stated in its application that it has complied with 
the rules of the PCX governing the withdrawal of a security from 
listing and registration by the issuer and that the PCX has in turn 
indicated that it will not oppose such proposed withdrawal. The 
Company's application shall not have any effect on the Security's 
continued listing and registration on the NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before February 28, 2001, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the PCX and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for 
the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

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