increased investor participation in the

securities.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(2),9 the

Commission finds good cause for

approving the proposed rule change, as

amended, prior to the thirtieth day after

the date of publication of notice of the

filing in the Federal Register. The

Commission believes that granting

accelerated approval of the proposal

will allow Nasdaq to expeditiously

implement the pilot program to reduce

market data fees without any

unnecessary delay and should confer a

benefit upon those firms that provide

real-time data to their customers and

subscribers. The Commission also notes

that it did not receive any comments on

the previous pilot program.

Accordingly, the Commission does not

believe that the current filing raises any

regulatory issues not raised by the

previous filing.

It is Therefore Ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(b)(2) 10 of the Act, that the

proposed rule change, as amended, (SR–

NASD–00–19) is approved on an

accelerated basis, for the pilot period

ending March 30, 2001.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.11

Deputy Secretary.
