    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \11\ 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 the proposed rule changes published on June 1, 2017, is 
July 16, 2017. The 45th day for the proposed rule changes published on 
June 2, 2017, is July 17, 2017. The 45th day for the proposed rule

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on each of the proposed rule changes. The Commission finds that 
it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take 
action on the proposed rule changes so that it has sufficient time to 
consider the comments received and any response to the comments that 
the self-regulatory organizations might provide.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act \12\ 
and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates August 30, 
2017, as the date by which the Commission shall approve or disapprove, 
or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the 
proposed rule changes (File Nos. SR-BatsBZX-2017-37; SR-BatsEDGX-2017-
