Exchange LLC; Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission
Action on a Proposed Rule Change To Amend Exchange Rule 307, Position
Limits
September 26, 2023.
On April 21, 2023, Miami International Securities Exchange LLC
(``MIAX'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend Exchange Rule 307,
Position Limits, to establish a process for adjusting option position
limits following a stock split or reverse stock split in the underlying
security. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on May 8, 2023.\3\ On June 14, 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
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\5\ The Commission has
received one comment regarding the proposal.\6\ On August 2, 2023, the
Commission instituted proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act
\7\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule
change.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97421 (May 2, 2023),
88 FR 29725 (May 8, 2023).

\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97727 (June 14,
2023), 88 FR 40366 (June 21, 2023). The Commission designated August
6, 2023, as the date by which the Commission shall approve or
disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to approve
or disapprove, the proposed rule change.
\6\ See letter from Ellen Greene, Managing Director, Equities &
Options Market Structure, SIFMA, to Vanessa Countryman, Secretary,
Commission, dated July 5, 2023 (``SIFMA Letter'').

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \9\ provides that, after initiating
disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving
or disapproving the proposed 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 comment in the Federal Register
on May 8, 2023.\10\ The 180th day after the date of the publication of
the proposed rule is November 4, 2023. The Commission is extending the
time period for approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for
an additional 60 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\10\ See supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer
period within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the
proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the
proposed rule change and the issues raised therein, as well as the
comment received. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates January 3, 2024, as the date by
which the Commission shall either approve or
[[Page 67835]]
disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-MIAX-2023-19).
