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 that would permit the Exchange to 
suspend the requirement that non-electronic orders be systematized 
prior to representation on the trading floor when a fast market has

published for comment in the Federal Register on March 6, 2017.\3\ The

if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its 
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization

it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change.

Act,\5\ designates June 4, 2017, as the date by which the Commission 
should either approve or disapprove or institute proceedings to 
determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File Number 
SR-CBOE-2017-010).
