Default how to specify only if 3 characters or less

I download a report that has a column heading "Name" and is in column D. The
name is last name then a comma then a space then the first name, for example
SMITH, FRED.

I would like to write a macro that would generate a report to pull only the
last names with 3 characters or less. That new report would be on a sheet
titled, "Short Names". What I want to accomplish is having a sheet that
lists all the 3 character last names or less from the main report called "All
Records". Names like "Ray", "Fox", "Lee" or " Hu". Thanks
