    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ 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 (i) as the Commission may 
designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and 
publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which the self-
regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve 
the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or

comments received. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\6\ the Commission designates October 17, 2021, 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-NYSEArca-2021-57).
