                              NEW SOFTWARE FOR NATIONAL TRADE DATA BANK (NTDB)

     Beginning with the November 1999 issue, the NTDB CD-ROMs will be supplied with new Y2K compliant
     software from Enigma, Inc. LPS will continue to pay the single workstation licensing fees on
     behalf of depository libraries in FY 2000. Any depositories wishing to purchase additional access
     should contact STAT-USA directly at the STAT-USA Customer Service Center (800-STAT-USA). After
     2000, LPS will apply the funds previously used for licensing fees to purchase additional
     depository access to the Internet service, phasing the CDs out of the Federal Depository Library
     Program.
