the Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
beneficiary alleges that he or she
borrowed funds informally from a noncommercial lender, e.g., a relative or a
friend. The statements are required to
determine whether the proceeds from
the transaction are income to the

respondents are the borrower/
beneficiary and the lender of the funds.

Advisory Committee on Private
International Law
SUMMARY: The Advisory Committee’s
study group on secured finance will
hold a meeting in New York City on
February 27 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
EST to review proposed
recommendations for legislative reform
on secured finance law under

Background
UNCITRAL is preparing draft
recommendations for countries that
wish to upgrade their secured finance
laws. This effort has been in progress
since 2002, and has examined various
approaches to secured finance law,
including Uniform Commercial Code
Article 9 (secured interests). The
Commission will seek to balance the
various proposals, and its Working
Group on Secured Finance will meet to
continue that process at the UN in New
York during the first week of February
2006. The Department of State’s
Advisory Committee on Private
International Law (ACPIL) will examine
documents discussed at or revised
during or after that meeting. The
Advisory Committee offers an
opportunity for interested members of
the public or entities, associations, etc.,
to comment both on these developments
and to make recommendations for
future proposals.
Agenda
The Advisory Committee’s Study
group agenda tentatively will cover
current developments in international
secured finance, and in particular
proposals concerning the intersection of
secured financing law and law covering
independent undertakings such as
letters of credit; bank accounts; and,
time permitting, negotiable instruments.
Public Participation
Advisory Committee Study group
meetings are open to the public. The
meeting will be held at the offices of
Bingham McCutchenn LLP at 399 Park
Avenue, New York City, conference
room 21C. Persons wishing to attend
need to provide in advance their name,
