Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a 
proposed rule change to amend BOX Rules 6010, 6040, 6090, and 10120 to 
allow for the listing and trading on the Exchange of options settling 
to the RealVolTM SPY Index, on a twelve-month pilot basis.

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ 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
