substance of the proposed rule change or raise any novel regulatory 
issues, it is not subject to notice and comment. Amendment No. 1 to 
the proposed rule change is available on the Commission's Web site

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \7\ 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 notice for this proposed rule change 
is April 3, 2016. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 this proposed rule change. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\8\ designates May 
18, 2016, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or 
disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to
