Applicant's Representations

    1. The Applicant, a Delaware limited liability company, is a multi-
generational single-family office that provides services to the family
and descendants of Joseph A. Jeffrey (1836-1928) (``J.A. Jeffrey'')
through the provision of services to Jeffrey LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and to The Jeffrey Company, an Ohio corporation
(``TJC''). The securities of each of Jeffrey LLC and TJC are 100% owned
directly or indirectly by the descendants of J.A. Jeffrey. The managing
member of Jeffrey LLC is TJC. Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms have the same meaning as defined in the Family Office
Rule.
    2. The Applicant provides a wide array of services (both advisory
and non-advisory) to, and conducts the day-to-day operations of,
Jeffrey LLC and TJC with the Applicant's own employees (neither Jeffrey
LLC nor TJC having employees of its own), subject to the direction of
the board of directors of TJC (the ``Board''). TJC is managed by the
Board, a majority of the members of which are Family Members as defined
in paragraph (d)(6) of Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 (the ``Family Office
Rule'') (with J.A. Jeffrey being the ``common ancestor'' for this
purpose). The Applicant is wholly owned and controlled by the same
individual who is TJC's chief executive officer, and who also is a
Family Member.
    3. The Applicant represents that (i) each of the persons served by
the Applicant is a Family Client, i.e., the Applicant has no clients
other than Family Clients as required by paragraph (b)(1) of the Family
Office Rule, (ii) the Applicant is owned and controlled in a manner
that complies in all respects with paragraph (b)(2) of the Family
Office Rule, and (iii) the Applicant does not hold itself out to the
public as an investment adviser as required by paragraph (b)(3) of the
Family Office Rule.
    4. The Applicant represents that Jeffrey LLC currently relies on an
exception from the definition of investment company pursuant to Section
3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
``ICA''). Jeffrey LLC would like to offer to additional Family Clients
the opportunity to invest in Jeffrey LLC (subject to securities law
compliance, including complying with applicable federal and state
exemptions from the registration of its securities). The Applicant
states that the 100 beneficial owner limitation of Section 3(c)(1) of
the ICA would cause family friction by denying to many Family Clients
the opportunity to invest in Jeffrey LLC. The Applicant states that
there are approximately 350 Family Members. Accordingly, on March 11,
2016, Jeffrey LLC filed an application with the Commission pursuant to
Section 6(c) of the ICA requesting an exemption from all of the
provisions of the ICA and all rules and regulations thereunder. Such
exemption would permit Jeffrey LLC to allow all Family Clients the
opportunity to invest in Jeffrey LLC without imposing on Jeffrey LLC
the costs of registering under, and complying with, the ICA.
    5. The Applicant represents that, in the event Jeffrey LLC were to
exceed the 100 beneficial owner limitation of Section 3(c)(1) of the
ICA, the Applicant would continue to meet the three general conditions
of the Family Office Rule set forth in item 3 above, with the exception
that Jeffrey LLC would not qualify as a Family Client, as more fully
described below. The Applicant represents that the assets owned

beneficially by Family Members and/or Family Entities (including assets
beneficially owned by Family Members and/or Family Entities indirectly
through Jeffrey LLC) will account for at least 75% of the assets for
which the Applicant provides services.
    6. The Applicant represents that the membership interests of
Jeffrey LLC (``units'') have not been, and will not be, offered or sold
to the public. The Applicant states that under Jeffrey LLC's limited
liability company agreement, sales or other transfers of units for
value to any purchaser, other than to Jeffrey LLC itself, are
prohibited. The Applicant further states that transfers for value to
existing members or other Family Clients are prohibited.\1\ The
Applicant represents that a market never will develop for units.
Applicant represents that the exit strategies available to a Family
Client will be to surrender units for redemption by Jeffrey LLC at fair
market value or to gift or contribute units to other Family Clients.
Investors are permitted to redeem their units at the end of each
calendar quarter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Applicant states that Jeffrey LLC allows a very limited
exception for estate planning transfers for value, such as
installment sales to a grantor trust. Any such transfers will be
made only to Family Clients. Additionally, investors are permitted
to pledge units as collateral for a loan, but only if the pledge
documents require, in lieu of foreclosure or other enforcement
action in the event of a default, that the pledged units be redeemed
by Jeffrey LLC prior to any transfer of economic or voting rights.
In the event that units are pledged, the party to which such units
are pledged shall not receive direct economic benefit from the units
nor can such party directly or indirectly vote the units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    7. The Applicant represents that TJC, since 1974, has relied on an
exception from the definition of investment company pursuant to Section
3(c)(1) of the ICA. As of December 31, 2016, however, virtually all of
TJC's assets consist of managing member units of Jeffrey LLC, which
Jeffrey LLC has determined are not securities. Applicant represents
that TJC no longer is required to rely on Section 3(c)(1) of the ICA
and does not require an exemption from the provisions of the ICA.

Applicant's Legal Analysis

    1. Section 202(a)(11) of the Advisers Act defines the term
``investment adviser'' to mean ``any person who, for compensation,
engages in the business of advising others, either directly or through
publications or writings, as to the value of securities or as to the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities, or
who, for compensation and as a part of a regular business, issues or
promulgates analyses or reports concerning securities . . . .''
    2. The Applicant currently complies with the Family Office Rule,
and thus the Applicant is not considered to be an ``investment
adviser'' under Section 202(a)(11) of the Advisers Act. In the event
that Jeffrey LLC were to exceed the 100 beneficial owner limitation of
Section 3(c)(1) of the ICA and thereby no longer would be excepted from
the definition of ``investment company'' under the ICA, the Applicant
would not comply with the Family Office Rule exclusion from the term
``investment adviser'' because the Applicant's ``client'' (Jeffrey LLC)
would not qualify as a Family Client under paragraph (d)(4)(xi) of the
Family Office Rule. The Applicant does not qualify for any of the
exemptions from registration as an investment adviser set forth in
Section 203(b) of the Advisers Act and, because the Applicant has
regulatory assets under management of more than $100 million, the
Applicant is not prohibited from registering with the Commission under
Section 203A(a) of the Advisers Act. Therefore, absent relief, the
Applicant would be required to register as an investment adviser under
Section 203(a) of the Advisers Act.
    3. The Applicant submits that, in the event Jeffrey LLC were to
exceed the 100 beneficial owner limitation of Section 3(c)(1) of the
ICA, the Applicant's relationship with Jeffrey LLC would not change the
nature of the Applicant into that of a commercial advisory firm. In
support of this argument, the Applicant notes that the Applicant would
continue to be held entirely by Family Clients, and the Applicant would
continue not to hold itself out to the public as an investment adviser.
The Applicant represents that Jeffrey LLC would continue to be managed
and controlled by TJC, which in turn is managed by the Board, a
majority of the members of which are Family Members.
    4. The Applicant states that, in requesting the order, the
Applicant is not attempting to expand its operations or engage in any
level of commercial activity to which the Advisers Act is designed to
apply. Further, in the event Jeffrey LLC receives from the Commission
an order exempting Jeffrey LLC from all of the provisions of the ICA
and all rules and regulations thereunder, given the conditions of such
exemptive order, which are designed to alleviate the policy concerns
implicated by expanding Jeffrey LLC beyond one hundred investors, the
Applicant submits that there is no practical difference from a
regulatory standpoint between (i) a pooled investment vehicle created
exclusively for the benefit of and wholly owned by Family Clients that
is ``excepted from the definition'' of ``investment company'' under the
ICA, and (ii) such a pooled investment vehicle that is, by virtue of a
Commission order, exempt from all the provisions of the ICA and all
rules and regulations thereunder.
    5. The Applicant also submits that there is no public interest in
requiring the Applicant to be registered under the Advisers Act. The
Applicant is a private organization that was formed to be the ``family
office'' for descendants of J.A. Jeffrey. The Applicant's clients are
Jeffrey LLC and TJC; the Applicant has no clients other than Family
Clients. Applicant represents that such services would not change or be
affected in the event Jeffrey LLC were to exceed the 100 beneficial
owner limitation of Section 3(c)(1) of the ICA.
    6. The Applicant argues that, although the Family Office Rule
largely codified the exemptive orders that the Commission had
previously issued before the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Commission recognized in
proposing the Family Office Rule that the exact representations,
conditions, or terms contained in every exemptive order could not be
captured in a rule of general applicability. The Commission noted that
family offices would remain free to seek a Commission exemptive order
to advise an individual or entity that did not meet the proposed
``family client'' definition, and that certain situations may raise
unique conflicts and issues that are more appropriately addressed
through an exemptive order process where the Commission can consider
the specific facts and circumstances, than through a rule of general
applicability.
    7. The Applicant notes that the Commission has issued orders
subsequent to the adoption of the Family Office Rule, and that each of
those orders treated the applicant as a Family Office even though the
applicant was providing services to persons who did not fall within the
definition of ``Family Client.'' The Applicant submits that those
orders recognized unusual circumstances in which an entity provided
services to such persons while remaining focused on a single family's
needs. The Applicant maintains that its unusual circumstances--
providing services to an entity that currently qualifies as a Family
Client because it is excepted from the definition of ``investment
company'' under the ICA but would not be so excepted if it were to
exceed 100 beneficial owners--would not change the nature of the
Applicant's operations into that of a commercial advisory business, and
that an

exemptive order is appropriate based on the Applicant's facts and
circumstances.
    8. For the foregoing reasons, the Applicant requests an order
declaring it to be a person not within the intent of Section 202(a)(11)
of the Advisers Act. The Applicant submits that the order is necessary
and appropriate, in the public interest, consistent with the protection
of investors, and consistent with the purposes fairly intended by the
policy and provisions of the Advisers Act.

Applicant's Conditions

    1. The Applicant will offer and provide services only to: (i)
Jeffrey LLC, which will generally be deemed to be, and treated as if it
were, a Family Client, and (ii) other Family Clients.
    2. The Applicant at all times will be wholly owned by Family
Clients and exclusively controlled (directly or indirectly) by one or
more Family Members and/or Family Entities as defined in paragraph
(d)(5) of the Family Office Rule.
    3. Jeffrey LLC at all times will be wholly owned by Family Clients.
    4. At all times the assets beneficially owned by Family Members
and/or Family Entities (including assets beneficially owned by Family
Members and/or Family Entities indirectly through Jeffrey LLC) will
account for at least 75% of the assets for which the Applicant provides
services.
    5. The Applicant will comply with all the terms for exclusion from
the definition of ``investment adviser'' under the Advisers Act set
forth in the Family Office Rule except for the limited exception
requested by the application.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
under delegated authority.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Memorandum of Agreement for Replacing the Griffin--
Spalding County Airport (6A2), Griffin, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Memorandum of Agreement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement for
replacing the Griffin--Spalding County

Airport (6A2), in Griffin, Georgia with the City of Griffin, Spalding
County, and the Griffin-Spalding County Airport Authority. This
Agreement sets forth the parties' obligations and commitments with
regard to planning and constructing a replacement airport.

DATES: December 15, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry F. Clark, Manager, Federal
Aviation Administration, Atlanta Airports District Office, 1701
Columbia Ave., Campus Building, Suite 2-260, College Park, GA 30337.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 28, 2014, the City of Griffin and
Spalding County, herein referred to as the Sponsor, and the Griffin-
Spalding County Airport Authority entered into a Memorandum of
Agreement (Agreement) with the FAA for replacing the Griffin-Spalding
County Airport (6A2) in Griffin, Georgia. This Agreement sets forth the
parties' obligations and commitments with regard to planning and
constructing a replacement airport and outlines the process the parties
will undertake to decommission 6A2 in the future. Prior to
decommissioning 6A2, the FAA will provide notice and an opportunity for
public comment as required by 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2).
    On September 26, 2014, the Federal Aviation Administration added
the proposed Griffin-Spalding County Replacement Airport to its
National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. The runway length and
airport design at the existing airport are insufficient to support
aviation needs. The sponsor evaluated all reasonable and practicable
alternatives to address these constraints and proposed construction of
the replacement airport to the FAA. The FAA issued a Finding of No
Significant Impact/Record of Decision for the proposed replacement
airport on March 12, 2013.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the Agreement in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    In addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect
the Agreement, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the Agreement in person at the Griffin-Spalding County
Airport, 1035 Hill Street, Griffin, GA 30224.

    Issued in College Park, Georgia, on November 5, 2014.

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on July 28, 2006.

Secretary.
