          - [Release No. 34-92154; File No. SR-NYSE-2020-96]

                    On December 2, 2020, New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE” or “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                           ( print page 32302)                        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).                

                        For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.[11]

Assistant Secretary.
