Technical Amendment to Commission Procedures for Filing Applications for Orders for Exemptive Relief Under Section 36 of the Exchange Act

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC' or "Commission') is making technical amendments to the rule by which applications for exemptive relief under section 36 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act') may be submitted electronically. The amendments are intended only to clarify and update references to an SEC Web site address and to eliminate certain formatting requirements.
