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 from the 

publication of notice of filing of this 

proposed rule change is August 17, 

2017. 

The Commission is extending the 45- 

day time period for Commission action 

on the proposed rule change. ICC’s 

proposes to revise the ICC Rulebook to 

provide for the clearance of Standard 

Asia Corporate Single Name CDS 

contracts, Standard Asia Financial 

Corporate Single Name CDS contracts, 

and Standard Emerging Market 

Corporate Single Name CDS contracts. 

The Commission finds it is appropriate 

to designate a longer period within 

which to take action on the proposed 

rule change so that it has sufficient time 

to consider ICC’s proposed rule change. 

Accordingly, the Commission, 

pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) 5 of the Act, 

designates October 1, 2017, 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–ICC–2017–009).

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc.; Notice 

of Designation of Longer Period for 

Commission Action on Proceedings To 

Determine Whether To Approve or 

Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change 

To Adopt the CHX Liquidity Enhancing 

Access Delay 

August 17, 2017. 

On February 10, 2017, the Chicago 

Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘CHX’’ or 

‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 and Rule 

19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule 

change to adopt the CHX Liquidity 

Enhancing Access Delay (‘‘LEAD’’). The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

February 21, 2017.3 On April 3, 2017, 

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 the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved.4 The Commission received 

eleven comment letters on the proposed 

rule change, including a response from 

the Exchange.5 On May 22, 2017, the 

Commission instituted proceedings 

under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the 

Exchange Act 6 to determine whether to 

approve or disapprove the proposed 

rule change.7 Since then, the 

Commission has received six more 

comment letters, including a response 

from the Exchange.8

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, 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 such determination. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

notice and comment in the Federal 

Register on February 21, 2017.10 August 

20, 2017 is 180 days from that date, and 

October 19, 2017 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 

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 responses to the 

comments. Accordingly, the 

Commission, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,11 designates October 

19, 2017 as the date by which the 

Commission should either approve or 

disapprove the proposed rule change 

(File No. SR–CHX–2017–04).

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.12
