Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 100 / Tuesday, May 24, 2016 / Notices December 31, 2012. On August 18, 2015, a delinquency letter was sent by the Division of Corporation Finance to China Heli Resource Renewable, Inc. requesting compliance with its periodic filing obligations, but China Heli Resource Renewable, Inc. did not receive the delinquency letter due to its failure to maintain a valid address on file with the Commission as required by Commission rules (Rule 301 of Regulation S–T, 17 CFR 232.301 and Section 5.4 of EDGAR Filer Manual). It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CIK No. 1096294), a Nevada corporation with its principal place of business listed as Shaanxi Province, China with stock quoted on OTC Link under the ticker symbol GFRP, because it has not filed any periodic reports since the period ended March 31, 2013. On November 3, 2015, a delinquency letter was sent by the Division of Corporation Finance to GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. requesting compliance with its periodic filing obligations, and GFR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received the delinquency letter on November 9, 2015, but failed to cure its delinquencies. The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the above-listed companies. 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 companies is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on May 20, 2016, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 3, 2016. By the Commission. Brent J. Fields, Secretary.

Rule 17Ad–17 requires transfer agents and broker-dealers to make two searches for the correct address of lost securityholders using an information database without charge to the lost securityholders. In addition, paying agents are required to attempt to notify lost payees at least once. The Commission staff estimates that the rule applies to approximately 301 broker dealers and 2,766 paying agent entities, including carrying firms, transfer agents, indenture trustees, custodians, and approximately 10% of issuers. The Commission staff estimates that the total burden is 88,619 hours, representing the hours associated with searches and notifications. Approximately 2,686 hours are associated with recordkeeping. The retention period for the recordkeeping requirement under Rule 17Ad–17 is not less than three years following the date the notice is submitted. The recordkeeping requirement under this rule is mandatory to assist the Commission in monitoring compliance with the rule. This rule does not involve the collection of confidential information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
