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 July 26, 2011 at 
10 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002, to hear oral argument in an 
appeal by International Power Group, Ltd. (IPWG) from action by the 
Depository Trust Company (DTC).
    DTC operates an automated, centralized system for book-entry 
movement of securities positions in the accounts of its Participants, 
broker-dealers and other firms, with respect to trades of Eligible 
Securities. DTC provides two levels of services to its Participants for 
Eligible Securies: (1) A full range of depository services including 
book-entry delivery and settlement, and (2) custodial service. IPWG is 
a Delaware corporation, the common stock of which was accepted by the 
DTC as an Eligible Security for all purposes.
    On September 30, 2009, DTC issued an ``Important Notice'' that 
stated, ``As a result of [certain civil litigation], DTC has suspended 
all services, except Custody Services, for [the common stock of 
IPWG].''
    IPWG challenges DTC's issuance of the Important Notice. Issues 
likely to be considered at oral argument include whether the Commission 
has jurisdiction to hear IPWG's challenge pursuant to Securities 
Exchange Act Section 19(f), and the extent to which DTC is required to 
provide fair procedures to issuers such as IPWG pursuant to Securities 
Exchange Act 17A(b)(3)(H).
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in 
the scheduling of meeting items.
    For further information, please contact the Office of the Secretary 
at (202) 551-5400.

    Dated: July 19, 2011.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
