SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 95496]


Notice of Intention To Cancel Registration of Certain Municipal 
Advisors

August 12, 2022.
    Notice is given that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
``Commission'') intends to issue an order or orders, pursuant to 
Section 15B(c)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''), 
cancelling the registrations of the municipal advisors whose names 
appear in the attached Appendix (hereinafter referred to as the 
``registrants'').
    Section 15B(c)(3) of the Act provides, in pertinent part, that if 
the Commission finds that any municipal advisor registered under 
Section 15B is no longer in existence or has ceased to do business as a 
municipal advisor, the Commission, by order, shall cancel the 
registration of such municipal advisor.
    The Commission finds that each registrant listed in the attached 
Appendix:

    (i) has not filed any municipal advisor form submissions with 
the Commission through the Commission's Electronic Data Gathering 
and Retrieval (``EDGAR'') system since January 1, 2020 (including 
but not limited to the annual amendments (form MA-A) required by 17 
CFR 240.15Ba1-5(a)(1)); and
    (ii) based on information available from the Municipal 
Securities Rulemaking Board (the ``MSRB''), (a) is not registered as 
a municipal advisor with the MSRB under MSRB Rule A-12(a) and/or (b) 
does not have an associated person who is qualified as a municipal 
advisor representative under MSRB Rule G-3(d) and for whom there is 
a Form MA-I required by 17 CFR 240.15Ba1-2(b) available on EDGAR, 
and/or (c) has not, since January 1, 2020, filed with the MSRB any 
Form A-12 annual affirmation as required by MSRB Rule A-12(k).

    Accordingly, the Commission finds that each of the registrants 
listed in the attached Appendix either is no longer in existence or has 
ceased to do business as a municipal advisor.
    Notice is also given that any interested person may, by September 
12, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time, submit to the Commission in 
writing a request for a hearing on the cancellation of the registration 
of any registrant listed in the attached Appendix, accompanied by a 
statement as to the nature of such person's interest, the reason for 
such request, and the issues, if any, of fact or law proposed to be 
controverted, and such person may request to be notified if the 
Commission should order a hearing thereon. Any such communication 
should be addressed to the Commission's Secretary at the address below.
    At any time after September 12, 2022, the Commission may issue an 
order or orders cancelling the registrations of any or all of the 
registrants listed in the attached Appendix, upon the basis of the 
information stated above, unless an order or orders for a hearing on 
the cancellation shall be issued upon request or upon the Commission's 
own motion. Persons who requested a hearing, or to be advised as to 
whether a hearing is ordered, will receive any notices and orders 
issued in this matter, including the date of the hearing (if ordered) 
and any postponements thereof. Any registrant whose registration is 
cancelled under delegated authority may appeal that decision directly 
to the Commission in accordance with Rules 430 and 431 of the 
Commission's rules of practice (17 CFR 201.430 and 431).

ADDRESSES: Secretary, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F 
Street NE, Washington, DC 20549.
