Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Designation 

of a Longer Period for Commission 

Action on a Proposed Rule Change To 

Amend Its Rules Regarding the Types 

of Complex Orders Available for 

Flexible Exchange Options (‘‘FLEX’’) 

Trading at the Exchange 

December 10, 2024. 

On October 11, 2024, Cboe Exchange, 

Inc. (‘‘Cboe Options’’ or the 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

adopt rules to govern new types of 

complex orders available for FLEX 

trading. The proposed rule change was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on October 30, 2024.3

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 after 

publication of the notice for this 

proposed rule change is December 14, 

2024. 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,5 designates January 

28, 2025, as the date by which the 

Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove, or institute proceedings to 

determine whether to disapprove, the 

proposed rule change (File No. SR– 

CBOE–2024–047). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Reinstatement Without 

Change: Reports of Evidence of 

Material Violations 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 

20549–2736 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520, the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit the existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for 

reinstatement without change. 

On February 6, 2003, the Commission 

published final rules, effective August 5, 

2003, entitled ‘‘Standards of 

Professional Conduct for Attorneys 

Appearing and Practicing Before the 

Commission in the Representation of an 

Issuer’’ (17 CFR 205.1–205.7). The 

information collection embedded in the 

rules is necessary to implement the 

Standards of Professional Conduct for 

Attorneys prescribed by the rule and 

required by Section 307 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (15 U.S.C. 7245). The 

rules impose an ‘‘up-the-ladder’’ 

reporting requirement when attorneys 

appearing and practicing before the 

Commission become aware of evidence 

of a material violation by the issuer or 

any officer, director, employee, or agent 

of the issuer. An issuer may choose to 

establish a qualified legal compliance 

committee (‘‘QLCC’’) as an alternative 

procedure for reporting evidence of a 

material violation. In the rare cases in 

which a majority of a QLCC has 

concluded that an issuer did not act 

appropriately, the information may be 

communicated to the Commission. The 

collection of information is, therefore, 

an important component of the 

Commission’s program to discourage 

violations of the federal securities laws 

and promote ethical behavior of 

attorneys appearing and practicing 

before the Commission.
