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 credit ratings roundtable 
discussion on Tuesday, May 14, 2013, in the Auditorium, Room, L-002, 
beginning at 9:00 a.m. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and seating will be 
available on a first-come, first-served basis. 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 23, 2013, the Commission published notice of the 
roundtable discussion (Release No. 34-69433), 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 the roundtable includes opening remarks 
followed by three panel discussions. The first panel will examine 
issues in connection with the possibility of developing a credit rating 
assignment system. The second panel will discuss the effectiveness of 
the Commission's current system under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 for encouraging unsolicited ratings of asset-backed securities. 
The third panel will focus on other potential alternatives to the 
current issuer pay business model.
    For further information, please contact the Office of the Secretary 
at (202) 551-5400.

    Dated: May 3, 2013.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
