thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to 

delete the maximum fee rates for 

forwarding proxy and other materials to 

beneficial owners set forth in NYSE 

Rules 451 and 465 and Section 402.10 

of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, 

and establish in their place a 

requirement for member organizations 

to comply with any schedule of 

approved charges set forth in the rules 

of any other national securities 

exchange or association of which such 

member organization is a member. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

December 21, 2020.3 On February 1, 

2021, 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 March 18, 2021, the Commission 

instituted proceedings under Section 

19(b)(2)(B) of the Act 6 to determine 

whether to approve or disapprove the 

proposed rule change.7

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 8 provides 

that, after initiating 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, 

however, 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 comment in 

the Federal Register on December 21, 

2020.9 The 180th day after publication 

of the proposed rule change is June 19, 

2021. The Commission is extending the 

time period for approving or 

disapproving the proposed rule change 

for an additional 60 days. 

The Commission finds that it is 

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, 

the issues raised in the comment letters 

that have been submitted in connection 

therewith, and the Exchange’s response 

to the comments. Accordingly, the 

Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,10 designates August 

18, 2021, as the date by which the 

Commission shall either approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change 

(File Number SR–NYSE–2020–96).

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.11

Transportation Holdings, LLC—Control 

Exemption—Adrian & Blissfield Rail 

Road Company, Charlotte Southern 

Railroad Company, Detroit Connecting 

Railroad Company, Lapeer Industrial 

Railroad Company, and Jackson & 

Lansing Railroad Company 

Transportation Holdings, LLC 

(Holdings), a noncarrier, filed a verified 

notice of exemption under 49 CFR 

1180.2(d)(2) for authorization to obtain 

a controlling interest in Adrian & 

Blissfield Rail Road Company (A&B), a 

Class III railroad, and its four 

subsidiaries, also Class III railroads: 

Charlotte Southern Railroad Company 

(CSRC); Detroit Connecting Railroad 

Company (DCRC); Lapeer Industrial 

Railroad Company (LIRC); and Jackson 

& Lansing Railroad Company (JLRC).1

The verified notice states that 

Holdings and the shareholders of A&B 

will enter into an Equity Purchase 

Agreement by which Holdings will 

acquire a controlling interest in A&B 

and, as a result, indirect control of 

CSRC, DCRC, LIRC, and JLRC. These 

five rail carriers own and operate rail 

lines located entirely within the state of 

Michigan. Holdings does not control 

any other rail carriers. 

Holdings states that: (1) The lines over 

which A&B, CSRC, DCRC, LIRC, and 

JLRC operate do not connect with one 

another, (2) the proposed transaction is 

not part of a series of anticipated 

transactions that would connect the 

lines with each other; and (3) the 

transaction does not involve a Class I 

rail carrier. Therefore, the proposed 

transaction is exempt from the prior 

approval requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

11323. See 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(2). 

The earliest this transaction may be 

consummated is July 1, 2021, the
