August 6, 2021.

On January 22, 2021, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Exchange” or “BZX”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act” or “Exchange Act”) and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, a proposed rule change to allow Invesco Focused Discovery Growth ETF and Invesco Select Growth ETF to strike and publish multiple intraday net asset values. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 10, 2021.

17 CFR 240.19b-4.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91064 (February 4, 2021), 86 FR 8935 (“Notice”).

On March 24, 2021, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change. On May 11, 2021, the Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change. The Commission has not received any comment letters on the proposed rule change.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91398, 86 FR 16650 (March 30, 2021). The Commission designated May 11, 2021, as the date by which the Commission shall approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 91845, 86 FR 26767 (May 17, 2021).

Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act provides that, after initiating disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after the date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change by not more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes reasons for such determination. The proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the Federal Register on February 10, 2021. August 9, 2021 is 180 days from that date, and October 8, 2021 is 240 days from that date.

The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act, designates October 8, 2021 as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-CboeBZX-2021-014).

Id.

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.

Assistant Secretary.
