plan participants consent to the longer period.\8\ The 240th day after

Plan so that it has sufficient time to consider important issues raised
by the proposed CT Plan and the comments received.\9\ Accordingly,
pursuant to Rule 608(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation NMS,\10\ the Commission
designates November 20, 2024, as the date by which the Commission shall
conclude the proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove
the proposed CT Plan or to approve the proposed CT Plan with any
