[Release No. 34-77912; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2016-49]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of 
Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on Proposed Rule 
Change To Amend Rule 6.64 With Respect to Opening Trading in an Options 
Series

May 25, 2016.
    On March 23, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Exchange'') 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 the 
Exchange's process for opening trading in an options series. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on April 12, 2016.\3\ The Commission has received one comment letter on 
the proposal.\4\

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 77539 (April 6, 
2016), 81 FR 21639.
    \4\ See Letter from Anonymous, dated May 3, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 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 these proposed rule changes should be disapproved. 
The 45th day for this filing is May 27, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time 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 so that it has sufficient time to consider and 
take action on the Exchange's proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act \6\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates July 11, 
2016 as the date by which the Commission should either approve or 
disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to
