Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by 
Amendment No. 1, To Amend Rules 4702(b)(14) and (b)(15) Concerning 
Dynamic M-ELO Holding Periods

July 6, 2023.
    On December 21, 2022, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or 
``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 replace the static holding period requirements 
for Midpoint Extended Life Orders and Midpoint Extended Life Orders 
Plus Continuous Book with dynamic holding periods. The proposed rule 
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 10, 
2023.\3\ On February 22, 2023, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\4\ the Commission designated a longer period within which to 
approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, 
or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the 
proposed rule change.\5\ On March 9, 2023, the Exchange filed Amendment 
No.1 to the proposed rule change, which amended and superseded the 
proposed rule change as originally filed. On April 7, 2023, the 
Commission provided notice of filing of Amendment No. 1 and instituted 
proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed 
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.\6\ The Commission received 
comments on the proposed rule change.\7\

rule change not later than 180 days after the date of publication of 
notice of filing of the proposed rule change. The Commission may extend 
the period for issuing an order approving or disapproving the proposed 
rule change, however, by not more than 60 days if the Commission 
determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the 
reasons for such determination. The proposed rule change was published 
for notice and comment in the Federal Register on January 10, 2023.\9\ 
July 9, 2023, is 180 days from that date, and September 7, 2023, is 240 
days from that date.

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed 
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, so that it has sufficient 
time to consider the proposed rule change, the issues raised in the 
comment letters that have been submitted in connection therewith, and 
the Exchange's response to comments. Accordingly, the Commission, 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ designates September 7, 
2023, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or 
disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1 
(File No. SR-NASDAQ-2022-079).
