Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to

expand the maximum share size

parameter for single orders entered into

the SuperDot System (‘‘SuperDot

System’’ or ‘‘SuperDot’’) to 3,000,000

shares. On March 30, 2001, the

Exchange filed Amendment No. 1.3 The

proposed rule change, as amended was

published for public comment in the

Federal Register on April 23, 2001.4 No

comments were received on the

proposed rule change. This order

approves the proposed rule change as

amended.

I. Description of Proposal

The Exchange’s SuperDot System

provides automated order routing and

reporting services to facilitate the

transmission, execution, and reporting

of market and limit orders on the

Exchange. Pursuant to paragraph (a) of

NYSE Rule 123B, ‘‘Exchange Automated

Order Routing Systems,’’ members and

member organizations may utilize the

SuperDot System to transmit orders of

such size as the Exchange may specify

from time to time.

In January 2001, the NYSE increased

the maximum SuperDot share size

parameters for single market and limit

orders entered into the SuperDot System

from 30,099 shares (for single market

orders) and 99,999 shares (for single

limit orders) to 500,000 shares initially,

to be followed by an increase six

months later to 1,000,000 shares.5

The Exchange now proposes to

increase the maximum order size for

both market and limit orders entered

into the SuperDot System to 3,000,000

shares. The increase will become

effective six months after the increase to

1,000,000 shares.

The Exchange believes that the

proposal will facilitate openings and

closings by increasing the number of

shares SuperDot can accommodate;

eliminate the need for firms and

institutions to break up large orders to

make them SuperDot eligible;

streamline the cancel and replace

process; and help to facilitate the

electronic capture of orders as required

by NYSE Rule 123, ‘‘Record of

Orders.’’ 6

II. Discussion

The Commission finds that the

proposal is consistent with the

provisions of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,7

which require, among other things, that

the rules of the exchange be designed to

promote just and equitable principles of

trade, to removed impediments to and

perfect the mechanism of a free and

open market and a national market

system, and, in general, to protect

investors and the public interest.8 As

noted above, the NYSE’s SuperDot

System provides automated order

routing and reporting services to

facilitate the transmission, execution,

and reporting of market and limit orders

on the NYSE. The Commission believes

that the proposal to increase the

maximum order size for market and

limit orders entered into SuperDot to

3,000,000 shares should help to enhance

the efficiency of order delivery,

execution, and reporting on the NYSE.

The Commission believes that the

increased efficiency in order delivery,

execution,and reporting should

facilitate transactions in securities and

help the NYSE to maintain a fair and

orderly market.

III. Conclusion

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,9 that the

proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–2001–

05), as amended, is approved.

For the Commission by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.10
