SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-101116; File No. SR-ISE-2024-12]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq ISE, LLC; Notice of
Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on Proceedings To
Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove a Proposed Rule Change To
Adopt Rules To List and Trade FLEX Options
September 20, 2024.
On March 11, 2024, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (``ISE'' or the ``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
adopt rules that will govern the listing and trading of flexible
exchange options (``FLEX Options''). The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on March 29, 2024.\3\ On
May 9, 2024, pursuant to
[[Page 78929]]
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 June 26, 2024, the
Commission instituted proceedings pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of
the Exchange Act \6\ to determine whether to approve or disapprove the
proposed rule change.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
\2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
\3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 99825 (March 21,
2024), 89 FR 22294.
\4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
\5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100086, 89 FR 42528
(May 15, 2024). The Commission designated June 27, 2024, as the date
by which it should approve, disapprove, or institute proceedings to
determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
\7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100438, 89 FR 54886
(July 2, 2024) (Order Instituting Proceedings) (``OIP'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \8\ provides that, after initiating
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 the 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 March 29, 2024.\9\ The 180th day after publication of the Notice is
September 25, 2024. The Commission is extending the time period for
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change for an additional 60
days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ designates November 24, 2024 as the date by
which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed
rule change (File No. SR-ISE-2024-12).
