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

SUMMARY: A small number of public comments submitted by commenters in 
connection with certain proposed Commission rules, proposed rule 
changes by self-regulatory organizations, and other matters were not 
received by the Commission through the Federal eRulemaking Portal and 
through the Commission's Web site due to software issues. A list of 
those matters and the number of comment letters not received is 
attached as Appendix A. The Commission is providing an opportunity for 
commenters whose comments were not received to resubmit their comments 
with respect to the matters identified in Appendix A.

DATES: Resubmit comments on or before October 29, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

www.sec.gov/rules/other.shtml);
     Send an e-mail to rule-comments@sec.gov. Please include 
the file number for the specific matter being commented upon on the 
subject line; or
     Use the Federal eRulemaking Portal (http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A small number of public comments submitted 
by commenters in connection with the matters identified in Appendix A 
were not received by the Commission through the Federal eRulemaking 
Portal and through the Commission's Web site due to software issues. 
The Commission has been informed by the agency responsible for the 
Federal eRulemaking Portal and the staff responsible for maintaining 
the Commission's Web site that these issues have been resolved. The 
Commission is providing an opportunity for commenters to resubmit those 
comments.\1\ Because the identities of the commenters whose submissions 
were affected by these software issues are not retrievable, the 
Commission requests that if you commented on any of the matters listed 
in Appendix A you review the Commission's Web site posting for the 
particular matter to determine whether your comment letter has been 
posted. If it has not been posted and you wish to resubmit your comment 
letter, you may do so via any of the methods described above. If your 
comment letter has been posted, there is no need to resubmit it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commission recently reopened the comment period for one 
of the matters listed in Appendix A, Indexed Annuities and Certain 
Other Insurance Contracts, Securities Act Release No. 8933 (June 25, 
2008) (73 FR 37752 (July 1, 2008)). Any commenters whose comments on 
this matter were not received can resubmit comments until the end of 
the reopened comment period. See Indexed Annuities and Certain Other 
Insurance Contracts, Securities Act Release No. 8976 (Oct. 10, 
2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission will consider all comment letters that are 
resubmitted. Although the Commission has taken action on some of these 
matters, the Commission will evaluate whether further action is 
necessary or appropriate in response to comments received.

    Dated: October 15, 2008.
Florence E. Harmon,
Acting Secretary.
