December 15, 2015.
    On June 5, 2015, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``Phlx'') 
filed with the 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 correct several provisions in Phlx Rule 1080.07, which 
governs the trading of Complex Orders on Phlx XL. The proposed rule 
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 23, 
2015.\3\ On July 30, 2015, the Commission extended the time period for 
Commission action to September 21, 2015.\4\ On September 17, 2015, the 
Commission instituted proceedings under section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act 
\5\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule 
change.\6\ The Phlx filed Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to the proposal on 
November 4, 2015, and December 3, 2015, respectively.\7\ The Commission 
received no comments regarding the proposal.\8\

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act provides that proceedings to determine 
whether to disapprove a proposed rule change must be concluded within 
180 days of the date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed 
rule change.\9\ The time for conclusion of the proceedings may be 
extended for up to 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is extending the 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 
issues raised by the proposal and to take action on the Exchange's 
proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to section 19(b)(2)(B)(ii)(II) of the Act 
\11\ and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates 
February 18, 2016, as the date by which the Commission should either 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-Phlx-2015-
49).
