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 list and trade shares of the

The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal 
Register on May 21, 2014.\3\ On June 24, 2014, the Commission 
designated a longer period within which to approve the proposed rule 
change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings 
to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.\4\ On 
August 19, 2014, 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\ On November 14, 2014, the 
Commission issued a notice of designation of longer period for 
Commission action on proceedings to determine whether to approve or

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72170 (May 15, 
2014), 79 FR 29231.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72458, 79 FR 36849 
(Jun. 30, 2014). The Commission determined that it was 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, the Commission designated August 
19, 2014 as the date by which it should approve, disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the 
proposed rule change.
    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 72867, 79 FR 50720 
(Aug. 25, 2014). Specifically, the Commission instituted proceedings 
to allow for additional analysis of the proposed rule change's 
consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among 
other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be 
``designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,'' and 
``to protect investors and the public interest.'' See id.
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73598, 79 FR 69172 
(Nov. 20, 2014).
