    On March 18, 2014, NYSE MKT LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE MKT''), 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ filed with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') a proposed rule change to 
amend Rule 98 to adopt a principles-based approach to prohibit the 
misuse of material non-public information. The proposed rule change was 
published for public comment in the Federal Register on April 7, 
2014.\3\ The Commission received no comments on 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 these proposed rule changes should be disapproved. 
The 45th day for this filing is May 22, 2014.

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 and 
take action on the Exchange's proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act \5\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 3, 
2014, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or 
disapprove, or institute

change (File No. SR-NYSEMKT-2014-12).
