(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to 
list and trade shares of certain funds of the Alpha Architect ETF 
Trust. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the

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

    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 
Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

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

    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, as 
modified by Amendment No. 2. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ designates October 21, 2014, as the 
date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed 
rule change (File No. SR-BATS-2014-026).
