    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

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission

the Proposed Rule Changes so that it has sufficient time to consider 
and take action on the Proposed Rule Changes.

the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 24, 2017 as

institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove proposed rule 
changes SR-DTC-2017-004, SR-NSCC-2017-005, and SR-FICC-2017-008.
