no comments on the proposal. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 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 this filing 

is August 30, 2018. 

The Commission is extending the 45- 

day time period for Commission action 

on the proposed rule change. The

rule change so that it has sufficient time 

to consider the proposed rule change. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act 5 and for the reasons 

stated above, the Commission 

designates October 14, 2018, as the date
