[Release No. 34-81155; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2016-176]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of 
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proceedings To 
Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change 
Relating to the Listing and Trading of Shares of the EtherIndex Ether 
Trust Under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.201

July 17, 2017.
    On December 30, 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 
EtherIndex Ether Trust under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.201. The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on January 23, 2017.\3\

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79792 (Jan. 13, 
2017), 82 FR 7891.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 23, 2017, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\4\ 
the Commission designated a longer period within which to approve the 
proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute 
proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule 
change.\5\ On April 21, 2017, the Commission instituted proceedings to 
determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\6\ 
The Commission has received nine comments on the proposed rule 
change.\7\

(Mar. 1, 2017).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80501, 82 FR 19397 
(Apr. 27, 2017). Specifically, the Commission instituted proceedings 
to allow for additional analysis of the proposed rule change's 
consistency with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act, which requires, among 
other things, that the rules of a national securities exchange be 
``designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and 
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade,'' and 
``to protect investors and the public interest.'' See id. at 19397.

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \8\ provides that, after initiating 
disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving 
or disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after 
the date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule 
change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change by not more than 60 
days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate 
and publishes the reasons for such determination. The proposed rule 
change was published for notice and comment in the Federal Register on 
January 23, 2017. July 22, 2017 is 180 days from that date, and 
September 20, 2017 is 240 days from that date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed 
rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider this proposed 
rule change. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) 
of the Act,\9\ designates September 20, 2017 as the date by which the 
Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change 
(File No. SR-NYSEArca-2016-176).
