Joint Industry Plan; Notice of 

Designation of a Longer Period for 

Commission Action on a Proposed 

Amendment To Modify the Options 

Price Reporting Authority’s Fee 

Schedule Regarding Caps on Certain 

Port Fees 

January 25, 2024. 

On July 14, 2023, the Options Price 

Reporting Authority (‘‘OPRA’’), 

pursuant to Section 11A of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 608 of Regulation 

National Market System (‘‘Regulation 

NMS’’) thereunder,2 filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), a proposed 

amendment to the Plan for Reporting of 

Consolidated Options Last Sale Reports 

and Quotation Information (‘‘OPRA 

Plan’’).3 The proposed OPRA Plan 

amendment (‘‘Proposed Amendment’’) 

would amend the OPRA Fee Schedule 

to reflect the applicable monthly fee 

caps on certain connectivity ports that 

are used to access OPRA data. The 

Proposed Amendment was published 

for comment in the Federal Register on 

August 2, 2023.4

On September 25, 2023, the 

Commission instituted proceedings 

pursuant to Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of 

Regulation NMS 5 to determine whether 

to disapprove the Proposed Amendment 

or to approve the Proposed Amendment 

with any changes or subject to any 

conditions the Commission deems 

necessary or appropriate.6

Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS 

provides that proceedings to determine 

whether a plan or amendment should be 

disapproved shall be concluded within 

180 days of the date of publication of 

notice of the plan or amendment and 

that the time for conclusion of such 

proceedings may be extended for up to 

60 days (up to 240 days from the date 

of notice publication) if the Commission 

determines that a longer period is 

appropriate and publishes the reasons 

for such determination or the plan 

participants consent to a longer period.7

The 180th day after publication of the 

Notice for the Proposed Amendment is 

January 29, 2024. The Commission is 

extending this 180-day period. 

The Commission finds that it is 

appropriate to designate a longer period 

within which to conclude proceedings 

regarding the Proposed Amendment so 

that it has sufficient time to consider 

any issues raised by the Proposed 

Amendment. Accordingly, pursuant to 

Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS,8

the Commission designates March 29, 

2024, as the date by which the 

Commission shall conclude the 

proceedings to determine whether to 

approve or disapprove the Proposed 

Amendment or to approve the Proposed 

Amendment with any changes or 

subject to any conditions the 

Commission deems necessary or 

appropriate (File No. SR–OPRA–2023– 

01). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.9
