    The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer 
period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the 
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the 
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, and the comments 
that have been submitted in connection therewith. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates 
August 4, 2022, as the date by which the Commission should either 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-CboeBYX-
2021-028), as modified by Amendment No. 1.
