The proposed rule change was published for comment in the **Federal Register** on August 18, 2017. 3 On September 28, 2017, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, 4 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rule change. 5 On September 29, 2017, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change, which amended and superseded the proposed rule change as originally filed.
On November 14, 2017, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposed rule change, which amended and superseded the proposed rule change as modified by Amendment No. 1. 6 On November 16, 2017, the Commission published notice of Amendment No. 2 and instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act 7 to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2. 8 The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81388 (August 14, 2017), 82 FR 39477. 4 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 5 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81746, 82 FR 46315 (October 4, 2017).
The Commission designated November 16, 2017, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change. 6 Amendment No. 2 is available at *https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nysearca-2017-69/nysearca201769-2688277-161489.pdf.* 7 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B). 8 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 82105, 82 FR 55699 (November 22, 2017). Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 9 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 the reasons for such determination. The proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the **Federal Register** on August 18, 2017. February 14, 2018 is 180 days from that date, and April 15, 2018 is 240 days from that date. 9 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 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, as modified by Amendment No. 2.
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, 10 designates April 15, 2018 as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSEArca-2017-69), as modified by Amendment No. 2. 10 *Id.* For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority. 11 11 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(57).
