experience, competence, and such other
qualifications as the Board finds
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest or for the protection of investors
and municipal entities or obligated
persons. Section 15B(b)(2)(A) of the Act
also provides that the Board may
appropriately classify municipal
securities brokers, municipal securities
dealers, and municipal advisors, and
persons associated with municipal
securities brokers, municipal securities
dealers, and municipal advisors and
require persons in any such class to pass
tests prescribed by the Board.
The MSRB believes that the proposed
revisions to the Series 52 examination
program are consistent with the
provisions of Section 15B(b)(2)(A) of the
Act in that the revisions will provide
more updated material covered on the
examination as well as ensure that
certain key concepts or rules are tested
on each administration of the
examination in order to test the
competency of individuals seeking to
qualify as municipal securities
representatives with respect to their
knowledge about MSRB rules and the
municipal securities market.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The MSRB does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act, as amended.

Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(1) 8 thereunder, in that the proposed
rule change constitutes a stated policy,
practice, or interpretation with respect

self-regulatory organization. The MSRB
proposes to implement the revised
Series 52 examination program on

SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Small Business Information Security
Task Force
U.S. Small Business
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of meeting minutes.
AGENCY:
The SBA is issuing this notice
to publish meeting minutes for the
Small Business Information Security
Task Force Meeting.
DATES: 1 p.m., Wednesday, October 13,
2010.
ADDRESSES: The meeting was held via
teleconference.
SUMMARY:
Pursuant
to section 507(i)(4)(A) of the Credit Card
Accountability Responsibility and
Disclosure Act of 2009, SBA submits the
meeting minutes for the first meeting of
the Small Business Information Security
Task Force. Chairman, Rusty Pickens,
called the meeting to order on October
13, 2010 at 1 p.m. Roll call was taken
and a quorum was established. Mr.
Pickens thanked the Task Force
members for agreeing to serve and for
making themselves available for the
meeting, noting that the group
represented a powerhouse of expertise
in information security matters. After
covering the general expectations for
Task Force meetings, most of which will
be conducted by teleconference, Mr.
Pickens proposed that one in-person

meeting be attempted in the spring of
2011.
Mr. Pickens set forth the ground rules
for Task Force operations. Noting that
the Task Force is chartered through
2013, he expressed the expectation that
its work might be accomplished sooner,
proposing a target deadline for the end
of 2011 for completion of the Task Force
Report to Congress. Mr. Pickens advised
the group that as Chair, he will be
responsible for providing regular
updates on the work of the Task Force
to the SBA Administrator. He concluded
his introduction by encouraging all
members to participate as fully as
possible in all discussions to maximize
the value of their expertise to the Task
Force. He then introduced Frances
Henderson of the Council of Better
Business Bureaus as Vice-Chair of the
Task Force.
Ms. Henderson welcomed the other
members to the Task Force and
expressed the Council of Better Business
Bureau’s appreciation for the
opportunity to work with the SBA and
a distinguished panel of experts on this
important topic. She noted that while
much valuable work has already been
done in both the public and private
sectors to disseminate information
security standards, guidance and
resources to the business community as
a whole, there is evidence that these
resources have not fully trickled down
to, or are not being well utilized by
many small businesses, including those
in greatest need of help with their
information security needs. She
expressed the hope that the Task Force
could identify the gaps in the
information security resources available
to small businesses and propose
solutions that would benefit both small
businesses and consumers.
The other Task Force members each
briefly introduced themselves and their
organizations, identifying their specific
interests and expertise in the work of
the Task Force.
The remainder of the meeting was
devoted to an open discussion on the
focus of the Task Force’s work,
including the development of a skeleton
work plan to be circulated in advance of
the next meeting.
The members agreed that meeting
frequency should be monthly and that
the next meeting date would be
November 10, 2010. No other decisions
were reached.
In closing, Mr. Pickens introduced
Jackie Woodward and Kristi Harmel as
support personnel assigned to the
Chairperson and the Task Force, and
encouraged members to reach out to
them with questions.
The meeting was adjourned at 2 p.m.
