2014-30439. Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE MKT LLC; Notice of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule Change Amending Rule 13-Equities and Related Rules Governing Order Types and Modifiers, as modified by Partial ...

December 22, 2014.

On October 31, 2014, NYSE MKT LLC (“Exchange”) 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 Exchange Rule 13—Equities and other Exchange rules governing order types and order modifiers. The proposed rule change was published in the Federal Register on November 20, 2014.^[3] On November 14, 2014, the Exchange submitted Partial Amendment No. 1 to the Commission and filed the Partial Amendment No. 1 to the public comment file.^[4] The Commission has received no other comment on the proposal.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act ^[5] provides that, within 45 days of the publication of the 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.

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 Partial Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,^[6] designates February 18, 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 (File Number SR-NYSEMKT-2014-95).

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.^[7]

Brent J. Fields,

Secretary.
