    \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ The Program was established on a pilot basis in 2013 and was

See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 87350 (October 18, 2019), 84 
FR 57106 (October 24, 2019) (SR-NYSEArca-2019-63). In connection 
with the Commission's approval of the Program on a pilot basis, the 
Commission granted the Exchange's request for exemptive relief from 
Rule 612 of Regulation NMS, 17 CFR 242.612, which, among other 
things, prohibits a national securities exchange from accepting or 
ranking orders priced greater than $1.00 per share in an increment 
smaller than $0.01. See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71176

2013-107).

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 
is March 16, 2023. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    The Commission finds it 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. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\6\ designates 
April 28, 2023 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-2023-06).
