Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of 
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 Thereto, Amending Rule 6.2A To 
Authorize the Exchange To Share Any User-Designated Risk Settings in 
Exchange Systems With the Clearing Member That Clears Transactions on 
Behalf of the User

November 21, 2014.
    On September 19, 2014, NYSE Arca, Inc., (``NYSE Arca'' or 
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the 
``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 amend Rule 6.2A to authorize the Exchange to 
share any User-designated risk settings in Exchange systems with the 
Clearing Member \3\ that clears transactions on behalf of the User.\4\ 
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal 
Register on October 7, 2014.\5\ On November 19, 2014, the Exchange 
submitted Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission 
received no comments on the proposed rule change.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Exchange Rule 6.1(b)(3) defining ``Clearing Member'' as 
``an Exchange OTP Firm or OTP Holder which has been admitted to 
membership in the Options Clearing Corporation pursuant to the 
provisions of the Rules of the Options Clearing Corporation.''
    \4\ See Exchange Rule 6.1A(a)(19) defining ``User'' as ``any OTP 
Holder, OTP Firm or Sponsored Participant that is authorized to 
obtain access to OX pursuant to Rule 6.2A.''
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73281 (October 1, 
2014), 79 FR 60552.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \6\ 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 for this filing

is November 21, 2014.\7\ The Commission is extending this 45-day time 
period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \7\ On November 19, 2014, the Exchange consented to an extension 
of this time period until November 29, 2014. See 15 U.S.C. 
78s(b)(2)(A)(ii)(II).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has 
sufficient time to consider this proposed rule change. The proposed 
rule change, if approved, would authorize the Exchange to share any 
User-designated risk settings in Exchange systems with the Clearing 
Member that clears transactions on behalf of the User.
    Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\8\ designates January 5, 2015, as the date by which the Commission 
should either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to 
determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-
NYSEArca-2014-110).
