policy relating to the Exchange's treatment of trade reports for 
Exchange Traded Products that it determines to be inconsistent with the 
prevailing market. The proposed rule change was published for comment 
in the Federal Register on November 18, 2015.\3\ The Commission 
received two comments on the proposed rule change.\4\ On December 17, 
2015, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ the Commission 
designated a longer period within which to either approve the proposed 
rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute 
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule 
change.\6\
