  • Start Preamble May 12, 2011.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission gives notice that BF Enterprises, Inc. has filed an application under Section 12(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. BF Enterprises asks the Commission to issue an order exempting the company from the requirement to register its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

    For a detailed statement of the information presented, all persons are referred to BF Enterprises' application, which is available on the Commission's Internet website at http://www.sec.gov/​rules/​other.shtml and for website viewing and printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room, Station Place, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
