[Release No. 34-77928; File No. SR-ISE-2015-30]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange, 
LLC; Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on 
Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed 
Rule Change To Amend Rule 804(g)

May 26, 2016.
    On November 10, 2015, International Securities Exchange, LLC 
(``Exchange'') 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 require clearing member approval before a 
market maker could resume trading after the activation of a market-wide 
speed bump under Exchange Rule 804(g). The proposed rule change was 
published for comment in the Federal Register on November 30, 2015.\3\ 
On January 13, 2016, the Commission extended the time period within 
which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule 
change, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the 
proposed rule change, to February 28, 2016.\4\ On February 26, 2016, 
the Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the 
Act \5\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule 
change.\6\ The Commission has received no comment letters on the 
proposal.

180 days of the date of publication of notice of the

filing of the proposed rule change.\7\ The time for conclusion of the 
proceedings may be extended for up to 60 days if the Commission 
determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the 
reasons for such determination.\8\ The 180th day for this filing is May 
28, 2016.

    The Commission is extending the 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)(B)(ii)(II) of the Act \9\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 27, 
2016, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or 
disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-ISE-2015-30).
