Rule 204, OMB Control No. 3235–0647,
SEC File No. 270–586.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
VerDate Nov<24>2008

of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 204 (17 CFR 242.204) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) requires that, subject
to certain limited exceptions, if a
participant of a registered clearing
agency has a fail to deliver position at
a registered clearing agency it must
immediately close out the fail to deliver
position by purchasing or borrowing
securities by no later than the beginning
of regular trading hours on the
settlement day following the day the
participant incurred the fail to deliver
position. Rule 204 is intended to help
further the Commission’s goal of
reducing fails to deliver by maintaining
the reductions in fails to deliver
achieved by the adoption of temporary
Rule 204T, as well as other actions
taken by the Commission. In addition,
Rule 204 is intended to help further the
Commission’s goal of addressing
abusive ‘‘naked’’ short selling in all
equity securities.
Several provisions under Rule 204
will impose a ‘‘collection of
information’’ within the meaning of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
I. Allocation Notification
Requirement: It is estimated that the
active broker-dealer respondents
registered with the Commission incur
an aggregate burden of 394,626 hours
per year to comply with this provision
of Rule 204.
II. Demonstration Requirement for
Fails to Deliver on Long Sales: It is
estimated that the active broker-dealer
respondents registered with the
Commission incur an aggregate burden
of 270,063 hours per year to comply
with this provision of Rule 204.
III. Pre-Borrow Notification
Requirement: It is estimated that the
active broker-dealer respondents
registered with the Commission incur
an aggregate burden of 397,152 hours
per year to comply with this provision
of Rule 204.
IV. Certification Requirement: It is
estimated that the active broker-dealer
respondents registered with the
Commission incur an aggregate burden
of 394,626 hours per year to comply
with this provision of Rule 204.
V. Pre-Fail Credit Demonstration
Requirement: It is estimated that the
active broker-dealer respondents
registered with the Commission incur
an aggregate burden of 394,626 hours
per year to comply with this provision
of Rule 204.

COMMISSION
[ File No. 500–1]
In the Matter of Gulf Alternative Energy
Corporation; Order of Suspension of
Trading
July 31, 2009.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of Gulf
Alternative Energy Corporation (trading
symbol: GAEC) because of questions
regarding the accuracy and adequacy of
information contained in press releases
and on its website regarding the quality
of the company’s technology and the
company’s business prospects and
agreements.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
the investors require a suspension of
trading in the securities of Gulf
Alternative Energy Corporation.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in the
securities of the above-listed company is
suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m.
EDT, July 31, 2009, through 11:59 p.m.
EDT, on August 13, 2009.
