the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) intended to issue 
an order, pursuant to section 17A(c)(4)(B) of the Securities Exchange

reasons discussed below, the Commission is canceling the registration

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(c)(4)(B).
    \2\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47878 (May 15, 2003), 68 
FR 28038 (May 22, 2003).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry W. Carpenter, Assistant 
Director, or Catherine Moore, Special Counsel, at 202/942-4187, 
Division of Market Regulation, Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 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 15, 2003, the Commission issued Notice of 
Intention to Cancel Registrations of Certain Transfer Agents (Notice) 
that 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 23, 2003, which was 30 
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. One of the identified 
transfer agents submitted a Form TA-W, Notice of Withdrawal from 
Registration as a Transfer Agent. None of the remaining 13 identified 
transfer agents have contacted the Commission to object to the 
cancellation of their registrations.
    Accordingly, the Commission is canceling the registration of each 
of the 13 transfer agents identified on the Appendix to the Order.

Order

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that each of 
the transfer agents whose name appears on 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 as a transfer agent 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\
