SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. IA-6322]

Notice of Intention To Cancel Registrations of Certain Investment
Advisers Pursuant to Section 203(H) of the Investment Advisers Act of
1940

June 1, 2023.
    Notice is given that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') intends to issue an order, pursuant to section 203(h)
of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the ``Act''), cancelling the
registrations of the investment advisers whose names appear in the
attached Appendix, hereinafter referred to as the ``registrants.''
    Section 203(h) of the Act provides, in pertinent part, that if the
Commission finds that any person registered under section 203, or who
has pending an application for registration filed under that section,
is no longer in existence, is not engaged in business as an investment
adviser, or is prohibited from registering as an investment adviser
under section 203A, the Commission shall by order cancel the
registration of such person.
    Each registrant listed in the attached Appendix either (a) has not
filed a Form ADV amendment with the Commission as required by rule 204-
1 under the Act \1\ and appears to be no longer engaged in business as
an investment adviser or (b) has indicated on Form ADV that it is no
longer eligible to remain registered with the Commission as an
investment adviser but has not filed Form ADV-W to withdraw its
registration. Accordingly, the Commission believes that reasonable
grounds exist for a finding that these registrants are no longer in
existence, are not engaged in business as investment advisers, or are
prohibited from registering as investment advisers under section 203A,
and that their registrations should be cancelled pursuant to section
203(h) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Rule 204-1 under the Act requires any adviser that is
required to complete Form ADV to amend the form at least annually
and to submit the amendments electronically through the Investment
Adviser Registration Depository.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Notice is also given that any interested person may, by June 26,
2023, at 5:30 p.m., submit to the Commission in writing a request for a
hearing on the cancellation of the registration of any registrant
listed in the attached Appendix, accompanied by a statement as to the
nature of such person's interest, the reason for such person's request,
and the issues, if any, of fact or law proposed to be controverted, and
the writer may request to be notified if the Commission should order a
hearing thereon. Any such communication should be emailed to the
Commission's Secretary at [email protected].
    At any time after June 26, 2023, the Commission may issue an order
or orders cancelling the registrations of any or all of the registrants
listed in the attached Appendix, upon the basis of the information
stated above, unless an order or orders for a hearing on the
cancellation shall be issued upon request or upon the Commission's own
motion. Persons who requested a hearing, or who requested to be advised
as to whether a hearing is ordered, will receive any notices and orders
issued in this matter, including the date of the hearing (if ordered)
and any postponements thereof. Any registrant whose registration is
cancelled under delegated authority may appeal that decision directly
to the Commission in accordance with rules 430 and 431 of the
Commission's rules of practice (17 CFR 201.430 and 431).

ADDRESSES: The Commission: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harold Lucie, Joint DPA Office,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472-3184, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, and email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of the meeting(s) is provided as
required

by Sec. 708(e)(3)(B) of the Defense Production Act (DPA), 50 U.S.C.
4558(e)(3)(B), and consistent with 44 CFR part 332.
    The DPA authorizes the making of ``voluntary agreements and plans
of action'' with, among others, representatives of industry and
business to address conditions that may pose a direct threat to the
national defense or its preparedness programs (50 U.S.C. 4558(c)(1)).
The President's authority to facilitate voluntary agreements has been
delegated to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) generally in
section 401 of Executive Order 13603,\1\ ``National Defense Resources
Preparedness,'' and specifically for response to the spread of COVID-19
within the United States in section 3 of Executive Order 13911,\2\
``Delegating Additional Authority Under the Defense Production Act With
Respect to Health and Medical Resources To Respond to the Spread of
COVID-19.'' The Secretary of Homeland Security has delegated this
authority to the FEMA Administrator in DHS Delegation 09052 Rev. 00.1,
``Delegation of Defense Production Act Authority to the Administrator
of the Federal Emergency Management Agency'' (Apr. 1, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 77 FR 16651 (Mar. 22, 2012).
    \2\ 85 FR 18403 (Apr. 1, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FEMA Administrator has found that, in light of the
unprecedented nature of COVID-19 and subsequent response requirements,
conditions exist which pose a direct threat to the national defense and
its preparedness programs. A future pandemic, or resurgence of COVID-
19, will similarly threaten the national defense and its preparedness
programs. Therefore, FEMA has sought, and received, approval from the
Attorney General, after consultation by the Attorney General with the
Federal Trade Commission, to begin the consultations with
representatives of manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of
personal protective equipment, pharmaceuticals, and other critical
health and medical resources for the purpose of making a voluntary
agreement under the DPA. The purpose of such an agreement is to
maximize the effectiveness of the distribution of critical health and
medical resources nationwide to respond to pandemics in general, and
COVID-19 specifically, by establishing unity of effort between
agreement participants and the Federal Government for integrated
coordination, planning, information sharing, and distribution of
critical medical resources. With respect to agreement participants
specifically, the agreement would establish the terms, conditions, and
procedures under which participants agree voluntarily to contribute and
facilitate health and medical resource production and distribution
capacity as requested by FEMA and other Federal Government entities.
    FEMA proposes to make a 5-year voluntary agreement effective as
soon as possible to address the Nation's response to COVID-19. FEMA
proposes a Committee for the Distribution of Medical Resources
Necessary to Respond to a Pandemic (the ``Committee'') to provide FEMA
and the participants a forum to maximize the effectiveness of the
distribution of health and medical resources nationwide to respond to a
pandemic through integrated coordination, planning, information
sharing, and distribution of health and medical resources.
    The meeting(s) will be chaired by the FEMA Administrator or his
delegate, and attended by the Attorney General or his delegate, and the
Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission or his delegate. In developing
this agreement, FEMA will adhere to all procedural requirements of 50
U.S.C. 4558 and 44 CFR part 332 for establishment of this voluntary
agreement.
    Meeting Objectives: The purpose of the meeting(s) is two-fold:
    (1) First, FEMA aims to identify agreement participants. FEMA
proposes to invite representatives of major manufacturers, suppliers,
and distributers of health and medical resources critical to respond to
a pandemic. FEMA requests stakeholder input on identification of
appropriate manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and any other
appropriate stakeholders for inclusion in the voluntary agreement.
    (2) Second, FEMA aims to gather technical advice from meeting
participants on the scope and substance of the draft agreement. FEMA
proposes that voluntary agreement will include: Provision of technical
advice; collective sharing of information; identification and
validation of places and resources of the greatest need for medical
resources; projection of future distribution demands; collective
identification and resolution of allocation of scarce resources among
all public and private domestic needs; sharing of vendor, manufacturer
and distribution information; and inclusion of any other necessary
collective actions to maximize the timely national distribution of
health and medical resources necessary to respond to a pandemic. FEMA
requests stakeholder evaluation of the objectives outlined above, and
requests that stakeholders provide additional recommendations for
objectives of the voluntary agreement.
