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 a fixed income roundtable discussion 
on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, in the Multipurpose, Room L-006. The 
meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will be open to the public, with 
seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors will open at 8:00 
a.m. Visitors will be subject to security checks. The roundtable will 
be webcast on the Commission's Web site at www.sec.gov and will be 
archived for later viewing.
    On April 2, 2013, the Commission published notice of the roundtable 
discussion (Release No. 34-69275), indicating that the event is open to 
the public and inviting the public to submit written comments to the 
Commission. This Sunshine Act notice is being issued because a majority 
of the Commission may attend the roundtable discussion.
    The agenda for roundtable includes opening remarks followed by four 
panel discussions. The participants in the first panel will discuss the 
characteristics of the municipal securities market today, and how that 
market has evolved in recent years. The participants in the second 
panel will focus on the characteristics of the corporate bond and 
asset-backed securities markets today, how those markets have evolved 
in recent years, and how they compare to the municipal securities 
market. The participants in the third panel will discuss whether there 
are any steps that might be taken to improve the transparency, 
liquidity, efficiency, or other aspects of the structure of the 
municipal securities market. The participants in the fourth panel will 
discuss whether there are any steps that might be taken to improve the 
transparency, liquidity, efficiency, or other aspects of the structure 
of the corporate bond and asset-backed securities markets.

    Dated: April 9, 2013.
