September 20, 2023.

On August 3, 2023, New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE American LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., and NYSE Chicago, Inc. each 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 the connectivity fee schedule to include an alternative procedure to allocate power in the Mahwah Data Center. The proposed rule changes were published for comment in the Federal Register on August 22, 2023.^[3] The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

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 45th day after publication of the notices for these proposed rule changes is October 6, 2023. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

The Commission finds it 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 and the comments received. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,^[5] designates November 20, 2023 as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule changes (File Nos. SR–NYSE–2023–29, SR–NYSEAMER–2023–39, SR–NYSEArca-2023–53, SR–NYSECHX–2023–16).

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.^[6]

Assistant Secretary.
