On April
3, 2009, the Postal Service filed a formal
notice with the Commission concerning
two changes in classification for Global
Express Guaranteed (GXG) service
pursuant to 39 CFR 3020.90 et seq.1 The
Postal Service’s notice states that it is
changing the minimum dimensional
requirements for GXG service in Mail
Classification Schedule (MCS) section
2205.2 which will allow mail pieces
that are smaller than the current
dimensions to be accepted as long as the
shipping label fits on the face of the
mail piece, and it is adding Libya as a
new service country destination. Libya
is being assigned to country group 4.
The Postal Service asserts that these
classification changes are consistent
with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3642,
and further proposes conforming
language to implement these changes for
incorporation into the MCS.
Pursuant to rule 3020.91 and 39 CFR
3020.92, the Commission provides
notice of the Postal Service’s filing,
affording interested persons an
opportunity to express views and offer
comments on whether the planned
changes are inconsistent with 39 U.S.C.
3642. Comments are due April 16, 2009.
39 CFR 3020.91 requires the Postal
Service to file notice of proposed
changes with the Commission no less
than 15 days prior to the effective date
of the proposed change. The Notice
indicates that these changes are effective
no sooner than 15 days after April 3,
2009, the date of the Notice.
It is Ordered:
1. Docket No. MC2009–22 is
established to consider the Postal
Service Notice referred to in the body of
this Order.
2. The Commission appoints Paul L.
Harrington as Public Representative to
represent the interests of the general
public in this proceeding.
3. Comments by interested persons in
these proceedings are due no later than
April 16, 2009.

COMMISSION
[File No. 500–1]
Poseidis, Inc.; Order of Suspension of
Trading
April 14, 2009.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of Poseidis,
Inc. (‘‘Poseidis’’) because it has not filed
a periodic report since its 10–QSB/A for
the quarterly period ended May 31,
2006, filed on November 21, 2007.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading
in the securities of Poseidis.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in Poseidis
securities is suspended for the period
from 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 14, 2009,
through 11:59 p.m. EDT on April 27,
2009.
By the Commission.

Roundtable on Oversight of Credit
Rating Agencies
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
AGENCY: Securities and Exchange
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of roundtable discussion;
request for comment.
SUMMARY: The Credit Rating Agency
Reform Act of 2006 provided the
Securities and Exchange Commission
for the first time with authority over
credit rating agencies that register with
the Commission as Nationally
Recognized Statistical Rating
Organizations (‘‘NRSROs’’). Most of the
Act’s provisions became effective in
June 2007. Pursuant to the Act, the
Commission has adopted two sets of
rules, and Commission staff has
conducted an extensive 10-month
examination of the three largest credit

rating agencies. In February 2009, the
Commission issued a proposing release
that included several proposals to
further the Act’s purpose of promoting
accountability, transparency, and
competition in the credit rating
industry. The proposing release is
available on the Commission’s Web site
at https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/

The Commission will host a

relates to both the Commission’s
pending proposals and more broadly.
The roundtable will consist of four
panels. Roundtable participants will
include leaders from investor
organizations, financial services
associations, credit rating agencies, and
academia.
The roundtable discussion will be
held in the auditorium at the
Commission’s headquarters at 100 F
Street, NE., in Washington, DC on April
15, 2009, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The
roundtable will be open to the public
with seating on a first-come, first-served
basis. The roundtable discussion also
will be available via webcast on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.sec.gov. The roundtable agenda
and other materials related to the
roundtable, including a list of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
roundtable discussion will concern the
Commission’s oversight of credit rating
agencies. The panel discussions will
focus on:
• The perspective of current NRSROs:
What went wrong and what corrective
steps is the industry taking?
• Competition Issues: What are
current barriers to entering the credit
rating agency industry?
• The perspective of users of credit
ratings.
• Approaches to improve credit rating
agency oversight.
The Credit Rating Agency Reform Act
of 2006 was designed to improve ratings
quality for the protection of investors,
serving the public interest by fostering
accountability, transparency, and
competition in the credit rating
industry. The Act grants the
Commission broad authority to examine
all books and records of an NRSRO with
regard to compliance with substantive
Commission rules applicable to
NRSROs, including rules addressing
conflicts of interest and rules
prohibiting certain unfair, coercive, or
abusive practices. The Commission
issued final rules establishing a
regulatory program for NRSROs in June
2007.
Since the passage of the Act and the
implementation of the June 2007 final
rules, the Commission has used its
authority to examine the adequacy of
the NRSROs’ public disclosures, their
recordkeeping, their procedures to
prevent the misuse of material
nonpublic information, their
management of conflicts of interest, and
their approaches to preventing unfair,
