Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend Rule 6.67(c) by 
Revising the Clearing Member Requirements for Entering an Order Into 
the Electronic Order Capture System

May 25, 2016.
    On March 22, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE 
Arca'') 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 Rule 6.67(c) to change the timing for 
recording the name of the Clearing Member \3\ in the Electronic Order 
Capture system (``EOC''). On March 29, 2016,\4\ the Exchange filed 
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The Commission published 
the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, for comment 
in the Federal Register on April 11, 2016.\5\ The Commission received 
no comments on the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Rule 6.1(3) defines ``Clearing Member'' as an Exchange OTP 
which has been admitted to membership in the Options Clearing 
Corporation pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of the Options 
Clearing Corporation.
    \4\ The Commission notes that the amendment date of March 30, 
2016 in the SR-NYSEArca-2016-15 Notice is incorrect and the proper 
date is March 29, 2016.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-77516 (April 5, 
2016), 81 FR 21429 (``Notice''). Amendment No. 1 was included in the 
Notice and provided the clarification that the CMTA Information and 
the name of the clearing OTP Holder would be entered into the EOC 
``as the events occur and/or during trade reporting procedures which 
may occur after the representation and execution of the order.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \6\ provides that, within 45 days of 
the publication of the 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 approve the proposed rule 
change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings 
to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved. 
The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 the proposed rule change. 
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\7\ designates July 10, 2016, as the date by which the Commission 
should approve, disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine 
whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSEArca-
2016-15), as modified by Amendment No. 1.
