The complete application may be obtained via the Commission’s Web site by searching for the file number, or an applicant using the Company name box, at https:// www.sec.gov/search/search.htm or by calling (202) 551–8090. Applicant’s Representations: 1. CFF, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the ´ ´ Republic of France, is a Societe de ´ Credit Foncier (‘‘SCF’’), a specialized credit institution authorized and licensed under French law and regulated and supervised by French banking authorities. Applicant represents that the sole permitted business of a SCF is to provide financing to the housing and public sectors in France and a limited number of other developed countries. Applicant further states that, subject to a comprehensive statutory and regulatory framework, a SCF conducts this business by (a) making or acquiring mortgage loans (which include loans incurred to acquire real property and secured by a mortgage or, in certain limited circumstances, other highquality credit support); (b) extending financing to public sector entities by making public sector loans or acquiring public sector obligations; and (c) acquiring debt securities backed by mortgage loans or public sector obligations (collectively, ‘‘Eligible Assets’’). Equity securities or other equity interests are not treated as Eligible Assets and are not permitted to be held by a SCF. 2. As a SCF, CFF states that it finances its business through the issuance of covered bonds, a type of debt security governed by French law. French covered bonds, known as obligations ` foncieres, and the SCFs that issue them are governed by the Savings and Financial Security Act of 1999 (the ‘‘SFSA Law’’).1 Applicant states that under the SFSA law, only credit institutions licensed and regulated in France as a SCF may issue obligations ` foncieres. However, CFF is not permitted under the SFSA Law to accept demand deposits and may only carry out the specific banking activities that are consistent with its purpose as a SCF, which is to acquire Eligible Assets and to issue covered bonds (or SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 Applicant represents that the French public law ` regime governing obligations foncieres, in which the issuing entity is strictly regulated by banking authorities as a credit institution and in which the priority of investors’ claims is guaranteed as a matter of law, differs significantly from the private contractually-based covered bond regimes found in certain other countries (such as the United States).

the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
