in Item IV below. SCCP has prepared

summaries, set forth in sections A, B,

and C below, of the most significant

aspects of such statements.2

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

The purpose of the proposed rule

change is to enable SCCP to charge fees

that will apply to trading of Units of

Beneficial Interest in the Nasdaq-100

Index Tracking Stock. On December 13,

2000, the Commission granted

accelerated approval of a proposed rule

change submitted by the Philadelphia

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Phlx’’) that,

among other things, amended Phlx’s

rules to permit the trading, pursuant to

unlisted trading privileges (‘‘UTP’’), of

the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock.3

In addition, Phlx has obtained a license

to use the Nasdaq-100 Index in

connection with the trading of the

Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock.

Specifically, SCCP will charge a fee of

$0.30 per trade for all participants while

specialists will pay a $0.50 fee per trade

for the first 1,000 trades and $0.25 for

all subsequent trades. No other SCCP

transaction fees will apply to trades in

the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock.

Upon initiation of trading, SCCP

participants will be notified by means of

a circular of the new fees applicable to

trading in the Nasdaq-100 Index

Tracking Stock.

The proposed fees for transactions in

the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock

are lower than the fees charged for other

equities already processed through

SCCP. It is SCCP’s belief that the

proposed lower fees should encourage

trading of this new product while

ensuring that the amounts collected will

still cover SCCP’s costs of processing

Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking Stock.

SCCP believes that the proposed rule

change is consistent with Section 17A of

the Act4 because it equitably allocates

reasonable fees among SCCP

participants as the fees apply equally to

all participants that trade Nasdaq-100

Index Tracking Stock.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

SCCP does not believe that the

proposed rule change will impose any

inappropriate burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received From

Members, Participants, or Others

No written comments were solicited

or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

The proposed rule change has become

effective pursuant to section

19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act5 and Rule 19b–

4(f)(2)6 thereunder because the

proposed rule change establishes a fee.

At any time within sixty days of the

filing of such proposed rule change, the

Commission may summarily abrogate

such rule change if it appears to the

Commission that such action is

necessary or appropriate in the public

interest, for the protection of investors,

or otherwise in furtherance of the

purposes of the Act.

III. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments concerning the foregoing,

including whether the proposed rule

change is consistent with the Act.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20549–0609. Copies of

the submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed rule

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

those that may be withheld from the

public in accordance with the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be

available for inspection and copying in

the Commission’s Public Reference

Room. Copies of such filing will also be

available for inspection and copying at

Phlx’s principal office. All submissions

should refer to File No. SR–SCCP–00–06

and should be submitted by May 22,

2001.

For the Commission by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.7

Deputy Secretary.
