On May 22, 2017, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”) filed with the Commission a proposed rule change for the same purpose, and each of NYSE Arca and NYSE MKT filed an additional proposed rule change for the same purpose. On May 26, 2017, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) and NASDAQ PHLX LLC (“Phlx”) filed with the Commission proposed rule changes for the same purpose. On May 30, 2017, NASDAQ BX, Inc. (“BX”) filed with the Commission a proposed rule change for the same purpose. On June 1, 2017, the proposed rule changes submitted by Bats BZX, Bats EDGX, BOX, C2, CBOE, FINRA, IEX, ISE, MIAX, and PEARL; both proposed rule changes submitted by NYSE MKT; and one of the proposed rule changes submitted by NYSE Arca were published for comment in the Federal Register. On June 2, 2017, the proposed rule change submitted by NYSE and the other proposed rule change submitted by NYSE Arca were published for comment in the Federal Register. On June 5, 2017, the proposed rule changes submitted by NASDAQ, BX, and Phlx were published for comment in the Federal Register. Four comments were submitted to File No. SR-FINRA-2017-013. On June 22, 2017, each of NASDAQ, BX, ISE, and Phlx filed a technical amendment to its proposed rule change.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act provides that, within 45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. The 45th day for the proposed rule changes published on June 1, 2017, is July 16, 2017. The 45th day for the proposed rule changes published on June 2, 2017, is July 17, 2017. The 45th day for the proposed rule changes published on June 5, 2017, is July 20, 2017.

The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission action on each of the proposed rule changes. The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule changes so that it has sufficient time to consider the comments received and any response to the comments that the self-regulatory organizations might provide.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates August 30, 2017, as the date by which the Commission shall approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule changes (File Nos.
