January 21, 2016.

On November 24, 2015, NYSE Arca, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, a proposed rule change to list and trade shares of the Cumberland Municipal Bond ETF, a series of the ETF is Series Trust I. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on December 14, 2015. On December 29, 2015, the Exchange submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission received no comment letters on the proposed rule change.

17 CFR 240.19b-4.

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76590 (December 8, 2015), 80 FR 77384 (“Notice”).

In Amendment No. 1, which replaces and supersedes the original filing in its entirety, the Exchange made clarifying changes, added a representation regarding municipal bonds, deleted a sentence regarding redemption, and clarified pricing information for certain assets. Amendment No. 1 is not subject to notice and comment because it is a technical amendment that does not materially alter the substance of the proposed rule change or raise any novel regulatory issues. It is available at: http://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2015-93/nysearca201593-1.pdf.

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 Commission is extending this 45-day time period. The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on 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 Act, designates April 27, 2016, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or disapprove or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File Number SR-NYSEArca-2015-93), as modified by Amendment No. 1.

Id.

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

Secretary.
