    On June 9, 2017, NASDAQ BX, Inc. (``BX'' or the ``Exchange'') filed 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'' or 
``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule 
change to adopt Rule 6896 and Chapter IX, Section 9 (Consolidated Audit 
Trail--Fee Dispute Resolution). The proposed rule change was published 
for comment in the Federal Register on June 23, 2017.\3\ The Commission 
received no comment letters on the proposed rule change.

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80968 (June 19, 2017), 
82 FR 28705 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \4\ provides that, within 45 days of 
the publication of 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 either 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 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. The 
proposed rule change would establish the procedures for resolving 
potential disputes related to CAT Fees charged to Industry Members.
    Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\5\ designates September 21, 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-BX-2017-029).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, 
pursuant to delegated authority.\6\
Eduardo A. Aleman,
Assistant Secretary.
