Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; 
Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on 
Proposed Rule Change To Exempt Non-Convertible Bonds Listed Under Rule

March 18, 2022.
    On February 4, 2022, The Nasdaq Stock Market 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 
exempt non-convertible bonds listed under Rule 5702 from certain 
corporate governance requirements. The proposed rule change was 
published for comment in the Federal Register on February 23, 2022.\3\ 
The Commission has received no comments on the proposal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 94265 (February 16, 
2022), 87 FR 10265.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 for this filing is April 9, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ the 
Commission designates May 24, 2022, 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-
NASDAQ-2022-015).

Assistant Secretary.
