          - [Release No. 34-91975; File No. SR-NYSE-2020-95]

On November 13, 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 thereunder,[2]            a proposed rule change to make permanent Commentaries .01(a) and (b) and .06 to Rule 7.35A (DMM-Facilitated Core Open and Trading Halt Auctions) and Commentaries .01 and .03 to Rule 7.35B (DMM-Facilitated Closing Auctions) and to make related changes to Rules 7.32 (Order Entry), 7.35C (Exchange-Facilitated Closing Auctions), 46B (Regulatory Trading Official), and 47 (Floor Officials—Unusual Situations). The proposed rule change was published for comment in the **Federal Register** on December 1, 2020.[3]            On January 13, 2020, the Commission extended to March 1, 2021, the time period in which to approve the proposal, disapprove the proposal, or institute proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposal.[4]            On March 1, 2021, the Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act [5]            to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.[6]            On April 12, 2021, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 [7]            to the proposed rule change with the Commission and submitted Amendment No. 1 for inclusion in the public comment file.[8]            The Commission has received no other comment letters on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act [9]            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       ( print page 28922)    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 notice and comment in the **Federal Register** on December 1, 2020.[10]            May 30, 2021 is 180 days from that date, and July 29, 2021, is 240 days from that date.

The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No.1. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[11]            designates July 29, 2021, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSE-2020-95) as modified by Amendment No. 1.

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.[12] 

J. Matthew DeLesDernier,

Assistant Secretary.
