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 and 
restate certain BX rules that govern the BX Equities Market in order to 
provide a clearer and more detailed description of certain aspects of 
its functionality. The proposed rule change was published for comment 
in the Federal Register on April 6, 2015.\3\ The Commission received no 
comment letters regarding the proposed rule change.

2015), 80 FR 18473.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 May 21, 2015.

    \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 the 
proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ and for 
the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 5, 2015, as 
the date by which the Commission should either approve or disapprove, 
or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the 
proposed rule change.
