Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder 9 because the proposal does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) by its terms, become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.10 The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay period. The Commission hereby grants the request. The Commission notes that the proposal is nearly identical to the rules of another exchange.11 Therefore, the Commission believes it is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest to waive the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposal as operative upon filing.12 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.13 IV.

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 second meeting of the Small Business Information Security Task Force. Chairman Rusty Pickens called the meeting to order on November 10, 2010 at 1 p.m. Roll call was taken and a quorum was established. An overview of the last meeting was provided. Introductions were provided for Dr. Babita Gupta, and Katherine White, both of whom were unable to attend the first meeting. Dr. Gupta and Ms. White then each provided a brief overview to the group. Ms. Frances Henderson provided that the focus for today is on what resources the group will need going forward in terms of personnel, systems, and software as there will be lots of material to collate before being able to produce a final report. Input to define tasks and how to keep the group on schedule were sought. It was indicated the work plan will continue to be developed. Mr. Pickens recapped the Task Force scope of work and asked everyone to keep the charter readily available and to review Section 507 of the authorizing law as it provides the requirements for the work the Task Force has been directed to complete. The focus is to examine resources available nationwide for small business on privacy and technology concerns and then collate the data. A gap analysis then needs to be performed to determine how effective the programs are and provide a report to the Administrator with recommendations of what can be done to improve on them. The Task Force has until the end of 2013 to complete the report but it is hoped that the work could be completed sooner. It was also clarified that there is no authorization for the Task Force to establish any new programs; the Task Force has only been directed to report to the Administrator their recommendations.

The discussion evolved into the need for resources and a software tool to capture, store, and list all of the gathered data. This discussion highlighted the need for qualitative caveats, as the amount of information such as certification and training resources could be enormous. The issue of funding and licenses for the purpose of this project was discussed. A question on Task Force funding was asked. Mr. Pickens stated that an appropriation of finances was included within the authorizing law to support the Task Force.

Additionally, Dr. Babita Gupta volunteered to look at resources within the nonprofit and academia sectors for available research that would be helpful to the Task Force.

BILLING CODE 8025–01–P This notice extends the Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative in its current form through December 31, 2013. This pilot initiative, established in 2007, was designed to increase lending to small businesses owned by members of the military community. It is based on the SBA Express model which uses streamlined documentation but provides a higher SBA guaranty of 85 percent for loans of $150,000 or less and 75 percent for loans greater than $150,000 up to $500,000. DATES: The Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative is extended through December 31, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grady B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Patriot Express Pilot Loan Initiative was established in 2007 and was based on the Agency’s SBA Express Program. Lenders approved for participation in Patriot Express are authorized to use the expedited loan processing procedures in place for SBA Express, in order to specifically support lending to small businesses owned by eligible members of the military community. To encourage lenders to make these loans, SBA provides its full 75–85 percent guaranty, rather than the 50 percent guaranty the Agency provides under SBA Express. Also, the maximum loan amount under this pilot initiative is $500,000. On June 22, 2007, SBA published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the program. (72 FR 34501) Since the program was implemented, more than 6,800 Patriot Express loans have been approved. SBA believes it is premature to assess the results of this pilot initiative at this time because most of the loans in this pilot were made in the last two years and there has not been [Public Notice 7266] AGENCY: SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DEPARTMENT OF STATE 30-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection: DS–160, Online Application for Nonimmigrant Visa, OMB 1405– 0182 Notice of request for public comment and submission to OMB of proposed collection of information.
