Rule 154; SEC File No. 270438; OMB Control No. 32350495.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 35013520), the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit these existing collections of information to the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.

The federal securities laws generally prohibit an issuer, underwriter, or dealer from delivering a security for sale unless a prospectus meeting certain requirements accompanies or precedes the security.

It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of Digital Gas, Inc. (``Digital''), because of questions raised regarding the accuracy and adequacy of publicly disseminated information concerning, among other things, Digital's announced agreement with Techno Rubber, Inc. and Digital's assets.

The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the abovelisted company.

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the abovelisted company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EST, November 17, 2006, through 11:59 p.m. EST, on December 4, 2006.

By the Commission.
Nancy M. Morris,
Secretary.
