[Release No. 34-92905; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2021-040]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; 
Notice of Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on a 
Proposed Rule Change To Establish the ``Extended Trading Close'' and a 
New ``Extended Trading Close'' Order Type

September 9, 2021.
    On July 12, 2021, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC 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 add Equity 4, 
Rule 4755 and amend Equity 4, Rules 4702 and 4703 to establish the 
``Extended Trading Close,'' as well as the ``ETC Eligible LOC'' and 
``Extended Trading Close'' order types. The proposed rule change was 
published for comment in the Federal Register on July 28, 2021.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 92466 (July 22, 
2021), 86 FR 40667. The comment letter received on the proposed rule 
change is available on the Commission's website at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nasdaq-2021-040/srnasdaq2021040.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nasdaq-2021-040/srnasdaq2021040.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 11, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on the proposed rule change. The Commission finds that it is 
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 and the comment letter received.
    Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\5\ designates October 26, 2021, 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 SR-NASDAQ-2021-040).

pursuant to delegated authority.\6\

Assistant Secretary.
