    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72458, 79 FR 36849 
(Jun. 30, 2014). The Commission determined that it was appropriate 
to designate a longer period within which to take action on the 
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the 
proposed rule change. Accordingly, the Commission designated August 
19, 2014 as the date by which it should approve, disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the 
proposed rule change.

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72867, 79 FR 50720 
(Aug. 25, 2014). Specifically, the Commission instituted proceedings 
to allow for additional analysis of the proposed rule change's 
consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among 
other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be 
``designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,'' and 
``to protect investors and the public interest.'' See id.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73598, 79 FR 69172
