          - [Release No. 34-73598; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2014-56]

                    On May 1, 2014, NYSE Arca, Inc. 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 list and trade shares of the PIMCO Income Exchange-Traded Fund under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the                     **Federal Register**                     on May 21, 2014.[3]                                          On June 24, 2014, 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.[4]                                          On August 19, 2014, the Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act [5]                                          to determine whether to approve or disapprove the                           ( print page 69173)                        proposed rule change.[6]                                          The Commission received no comments on the proposed rule change.                

                    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act [7]                                          provides that, after initiating disapproval 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, however, extend the period for issuing an order approving or disapproving the proposed rule change by not more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the reasons for that determination. The proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the                     **Federal Register**                     on May 21, 2014.[8]                                          The 180th day after publication of the notice of the filing of the proposed rule change in the                     **Federal Register**                     is November 17, 2014, and the 240th day after publication of the notice of the filing of the proposed rule change in the                     **Federal Register**                     is January 16, 2015.                

The Commission finds it 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.

                    Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,[9]                                          designates January 16, 2015 as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSEArca-2014-56).                                    

                        For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.10

Kevin M. O'Neill,

Deputy Secretary.
