listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (``PCX'').

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

    On May 10, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer 
approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from listing and 
registration on PCX. The Board stated that the reason for its decision 
to withdraw the Security from PCX is that the volume of trading in the 
Security on PCX has been very modest. The Board determined that the 
benefits of continued listing on PCX do not outweigh the incremental 
costs of the listing fee and administrative time and expense associated 
with listing on PCX. The Security is currently listed and traded on the 
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE'').
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of PCX by providing PCX with the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
PCX.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on PCX, and shall not affect its continued 
listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) 
of the Act.\3\

accordance with the rules of PCX, and what terms, if any, should be 
imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment 
letters may be submitted by either of the following methods:
