Item 1: Revisions to the Eligibility Requirements for Primary Securities Offerings on Forms S-3 and F-3

The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to the eligibility requirements of Form S-3 and Form F-3 of the Securities Act of 1933 to allow companies that do not meet the current public float requirements of the forms to nevertheless register primary offerings of their securities, subject to certain restrictions, including the amount of securities those companies may sell pursuant to the expanded eligibility standard in any one-year period.

For further information, please contact Daniel Greenspan, Paula Dubberly, or Elizabeth Murphy, Division of Corporation Finance, at (202) 551-3430.

Item 2: Electronic Filing and Revision of Form D

The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to mandate electronic filing of Form D and revise the information requirements of that form. Form D is a notice required to be filed by companies that have sold securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 based on a claim of exemption under Regulation D or Section 4(6) of the Act. Form D filings are also required by most states.

For further information, please contact Corey A. Jennings, Division of Corporation Finance, at (202) 551-3460.

Item 3: Concept Release on Possible Revisions to the Disclosure Requirements Relating to Oil and Gas Reserves

The Commission will consider whether to publish a concept release to solicit public comment concerning possible revisions to the oil and gas reserves disclosure requirements. These requirements exist in their current form in Item 102 of Regulation S-K and Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

For further information, please contact Mellissa Campbell Duru, or Dr. W. John Lee, Division of Corporation Finance, at (202) 551-3740, or Mark Mahar, Office of the Chief Accountant, at (202) 551-5300.
