    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 
45th day after publication of the notice for this proposed rule change

period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that 
it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and the 
comments received. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act, the Commission designates March 7, 2022, as the date by which the 
Commission shall approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to 
determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-
FINRA-2021-030).
