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

    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) of the Act \5\ and for 
the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 31, 2017, as 
the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed 
rule change (File No. SR-ISE-2017-32).
