    On September 27, 2017, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``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 
criteria for listing an option on an underlying covered security in 
Rule 1009, Commentary .01. The proposed rule change was published for 
comment in the Federal Register on October 11, 2017.\3\

    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 November 25, 2017. The Commission is extending this 45-day time

it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change. 
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\5\ designates January 9, 2018 as the date by which the Commission 
shall either approve or disapprove or institute proceedings to 
determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File Number
