    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 September 9, 2018.

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on the proposed rule change. The Commission finds it appropriate 
to designate a longer period within which to take action on the 
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the 
proposed rule change. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 
19(b)(2) of the Act and for the reasons stated above,\5\ designates 
October 24, 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 No. SR-BX-2018-025).
