Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX Options Exchange LLC; Notice 
of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on Proposed Rule 
Change To Permit Complex Orders To Participate in Price Improvement

November 1, 2013.
    On September 5, 2013, BOX Options Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or 
``BOX'') 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 add new BOX Rule 7245 to permit Complex Orders 
to participate in Price Improvement Periods (the ``COPIP'') and to make 
certain other conforming and clarifying changes to accommodate the new 
COPIP Rule. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the 
Federal Register on September 23, 2013.\3\ The Commission has received 
no comment letters on the proposal.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 70427 (September 17, 
2013), 78 FR 58364.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 these proposed rule changes should be disapproved. 
The 45th day for this filing is November 7, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on the proposed rule change. 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 and 
take action on the Exchange's proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act \5\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates December 
20, 2013, 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 No. SR-BOX-2013-43).

pursuant to delegated authority.\6\
