[Release No. 34-75570; File No. SR-Phlx-2015-49]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of 
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change To Amend and Correct Rule 1080.07

July 30, 2015.
    On June 5, 2015, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``Phlx'') 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to 
amend and correct several provisions in Phlx Rule 1080.07, which 
governs the trading of Complex Orders on Phlx XL. The proposed rule 
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 23, 
2015.\3\ The Commission received no comments regarding the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75189 (June 17, 
2015), 80 FR 35997.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 for this filing is August 7, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is extending the 45-day period for Commission action 
on the proposed rule change. The Commission finds that it is 
appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on 
the proposed rule change. In particular, the extension of time will 
ensure that the Commission has sufficient time to consider and take 
action on the Exchange's proposal.

[[Page 46620]]

    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act \5\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates September 
21, 2015, 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 No. SR-Phlx-2015-49).
