Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Order Granting Registration of 
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services as a Nationally Recognized

    Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a credit rating agency, 
furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') an 
application for registration as a nationally recognized statistical 
rating organization (``NRSRO'') under Section 15E of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') for the classes of credit 
ratings described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 3(a)(62)(B) of 
the Exchange Act. The Commission finds that the application furnished 
by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services is in the form required by 
Exchange Act Section 15E, Exchange Act Rule 17g-1 (17 CFR 240.17g-1), 
and Form NRSRO (17 CFR 249b.300) and contains the information described 
in subparagraph (B) of Section 15E(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.
    Based on the application, the Commission finds that the 
requirements of Section 15E of the Exchange Act are satisfied.
    Accordingly,
    It is ordered, under paragraph (a)(2)(A) of Section 15E of the 
Exchange Act, that the registration of Standard & Poor's Ratings 
Services with the Commission as an NRSRO under Section 15E of the 
Exchange Act for the classes of credit ratings described in clauses (i) 
through (v) of Section 3(a)(62)(B) of the Exchange Act is granted.

    By the Commission.
Nancy M. Morris,
