July 14, 2016.
    On May 19, 2016, NYSE Arca, Inc. 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 list and trade shares of the 
BlackRock Government Collateral Pledge Unit. The proposed rule change 
was published for comment in the Federal Register on June 2, 2016.\3\ 
The Commission received no comment letters on the proposed rule change.

2016), 81 FR 35425.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 
is July 17, 2016. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

Act,\5\ designates August 31, 2016, 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 Number
