Download as PDF 38984 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 128 / Wednesday, July 6, 2005 / Notices Employers Pension Trust (‘‘Local 25 Plan’’) for approval of a plan amendment providing for special withdrawal liability rules. A copy of the originating request, and PBGC’s summary of the actuarial reports that the plan provided, may be accessed on the PBGC’s Web site (https:// www.PBGC.gov). A copy of the complete filing may be requested from the PBGC Disclosure Officer. The fax number is 202–326–4042. It may also be obtained by writing the Disclosure Officer, PBGC, 1200 K Street, NW., Suite 240, Washington, DC 20005. In brief, the Local 25 Plan, a multiemployer plan covering the commercial building cleaning and security industry in Chicago, represents that the industry has characteristics similar to those of the construction industry. The plan has adopted an amendment prescribing special withdrawal liability rules, which, if approved by the PBGC, would be effective as of September 30, 2002. Under the proposed amendment, complete withdrawal of an employer would occur only under conditions similar to those described in ERISA section 4203(b)(2), or certain other conditions including a mass withdrawal. Partial withdrawal of an employer would occur only under conditions similar to those described in ERISA section 4208(d)(1). The request includes actuarial data to support the plan’s contention that the amendment will not pose a significant risk to the insurance system under Title IV of ERISA. Comments All interested persons are invited to submit written comments concerning the pending request to the PBGC at the above address by August 22, 2005. All comments will be made a part of the record. Comments received will be available for public inspection at the address set forth above. Issued in Washington, DC, on this 27 day of June, 2005.

Accordingly, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Issuer and its shareholders to withdraw the Security from listing and registration on PCX. The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with applicable rules of PCX by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the State of New York, the state in which the Issuer is incorporated, and by providing PCX with the required documents governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on PCX.

It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of St. George Metals, Inc.
