SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Meeting

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the Securities 
and Exchange Commission will hold an Open Meeting on May 25, 2011 at 
9:30 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002.
    The subject matters of the Open Meeting will be:
    Item 1: The Commission will consider whether to propose amendments 
to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 to disqualify 
securities offerings involving certain ``felons and other `bad 
actors''' from reliance on the Rule 506 safe harbor exemption from 
Securities Act registration. These proposals are designed to implement 
Section 926 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection Act.
    Item 2: The Commission will consider whether to adopt rules and 
forms to implement Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
entitled ``Securities Whistleblower Incentives and Protection.'' 
Section 21F, as added by Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, provides that the Commission shall 
pay awards, under regulations prescribed by the Commission and subject 
to certain limitations, to eligible whistleblowers who voluntarily 
provide the Commission with original information about a violation of 
the federal securities laws that leads to the successful enforcement of 
a covered judicial or administrative action, or a related action.
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in 
the scheduling of meeting items.
    For further information and to ascertain what, if any, matters have 
been added, deleted or postponed, please contact:
    The Office of the Secretary at (202) 551-5400.

    Dated: May 18, 2011.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
