The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to expand its interactive data voluntary reporting program to permit mutual funds to submit as exhibits to their registration statements supplemental tagged information contained in the risk/return summary section of their prospectuses. The risk/return summary section contains key mutual fund information, including investment objectives and strategies, risks, and costs.

For further information, please contact Alberto Zapata, Division of Investment Management, at (202) 551-6784.

Item 2: Acceptance from Foreign Private Issuers of Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards without Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP

The Commission will consider whether to propose amendments to Form 20-F, Rules 3-10 and 4-01 of Regulation S-X, Forms F-4 and S-4, and Rule 701 under the Securities Act, to accept financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as published by the International Accounting Standards Board without reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles as used in the United States when contained in the filings of foreign private issuers with the Commission.

For further information, please contact Michael Coco, Division of Corporation Finance, at (202) 551-3450 or Katrina A. Kimpel, Office of the Chief Accountant, at (202) 551-5300.

Item 3: Shareholder Choice Regarding Proxy Materials

The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to the proxy rules under the Exchange Act to provide shareholders with the ability to choose the means by which they access proxy materials. Under the amendments, issuers and other soliciting persons will post their proxy materials on an Internet Web site and provide shareholders with a notice of the Internet availability of the materials. The issuer or soliciting person may choose to furnish paper copies of the proxy materials along with the notice. If the issuer or soliciting person chooses not to furnish a paper copy of the proxy materials along with the notice, a shareholder may request delivery of a copy at no charge to the shareholder.

For further information, please contact Ray Be, Division of Corporation Finance, at (202) 551-3430.

Item 4: Short Selling in Connection with a Public Offering

The Commission will consider whether to adopt amendments to Rule 105 of Regulation M that would further safeguard the integrity of the capital raising process and protect issuers from manipulative activity that can reduce issuers' offering proceeds and dilute security holder value.

For further information, please contact James Brigagliano, Josephine Tao, Joan Collopy, Hagen, Elizabeth Sandoe, or Victoria Crane at (202) 551- 5720.
