    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides that within 45 days of the

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

    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 \6\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 11,

disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to
