Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe Exchange, Inc.; Notice of 
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a Proposed Rule 
Change Relating to Flexibly Structured Options

March 23, 2018.
    On January 19, 2018, Cboe Exchange, 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 rules relating to the fungibility of Flexible Exchange 
Options (``FLEX Options'') with Non-FLEX Options that have identical 
terms to, among other things, include FLEX Options on quarterly 
expirations, short term expirations, weekly expirations and end-of-
month expirations. The proposed rule change was published for comment 
in the Federal Register on February 8, 2018.\3\ The Commission has 
received no comments on the proposed rule change.

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 approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule 
change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule 
change should be approved or disapproved. The 45th day after 
publication of the notice for this proposed rule change is March 25, 
2018. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

    The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer 
period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that 
the Commission has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule 
change. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of 
the Act,\5\ designates May 9, 2018, as the date by which the Commission 
should approve or disapprove or institute proceedings to determine 
whether to disapprove the proposed rule change (File Number SR-CBOE-
2018-008).
