V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1 

The Commission finds good cause to 

approve the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to 

the 30th day after the date of 

publication of the notice of Amendment 

No. 1 in the Federal Register. As noted 

above, in Amendment No. 1, the 

Exchange amended the original filing to 

correct an incorrect reference to the 

Manual in the purpose section of the 

filing, replace the proposed continued 

listing standard of 100 total holders 

with 100 public holders, add two 

additional continued listing standards— 

the 100,000 publicly-held shares 

requirement and the 100 public holder 

requirement—to the immediate 

suspension and delisting proceeding 

provisions of Section 804 of the Manual, 

and provide a clarification that all 

Subscription Receipts convert into 

primary common stock of the issuer. 

The Commission notes that the 

revisions in Amendment No. 1 provide 

additional clarity and specificity to the 

proposal and do not raise any novel 

regulatory concerns. In addition, the 

changes to the continued listing 

standards strengthen the proposal and 

are consistent with investor protection. 

Finally, the Commission notes that the 

majority of the original proposal was not 

modified and was subject to a full 

notice-and-comment period, and no 

comments were received. Accordingly, 

the Commission finds that good cause 

exists to approve the proposal, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, on an 

accelerated basis, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act.35

VI. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,36 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–NYSE–2017– 

31), as modified by Amendment No. 1 

thereto, be, and hereby is, approved on 

an accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.37

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 

amend Interpretation and Policy .07 of 

Exchange Rule 4.11, Position Limits, to 

increase the position limits for options 

on the following exchange traded funds 

and exchange traded notes: iShares 

China Large-Cap ETF, iShares MSCI

and iShares MSCI Japan ETF. The 

proposed rule change was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

August 31, 2017.3 The Commission 

received no comments regarding the 

proposal. 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 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 October 15, 2017. 

The Commission is extending the 45- 

day time period for Commission action 

on the proposed rule change. The 

Commission finds that 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 the proposed rule change. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act 5 and for the reasons 

stated above, the Commission 

designates November 29, 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–CBOE–2017– 

057). 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.6
