SEC Division of Corporation Finance no-action letter: iShares Silver Trust

The SEC staff agrees not to recommend enforcement action against Barclays Global Investors International Inc. if the Sponsor signs the Sarbanes-Oxley Act certifications required for the iShares Silver Trust's periodic reports. This relief applies because the Trust lacks officers or directors, making the Sponsor's chief executive officer and chief financial officer the appropriate individuals to certify the Trust's disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.
