On August 15, 2024, National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change SR-NSCC-2024-006 (``Proposed
Rule Change'') pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder to adopt a
new framework entitled the ``Clearing Agency Framework for Certain
Requirements on Governance and Conflicts of Interest'' (``Framework'')
of NSCC and its affiliates, the Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') and
Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (``FICC,'' and together with NSCC and
DTC, the ``Clearing Agencies'').\3\ The Proposed Rule Change was
published for public comment in the Federal Register on September 3,
2024.\4\ The Commission has received no comments regarding the Proposed
Rule Change.

\4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 100841 (August 27,
2024), 71 FR 646 (September 3, 2024) (File No. SR-NSCC-2024-006)
(``Notice of Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 19(b)(2)(i) of the Exchange Act \5\ provides that, within
45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule
change, 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 unless
the Commission extends the period within which it must act as provided
in Section 19(b)(2)(ii) of the Exchange Act.\6\ Section 19(b)(2)(ii) of
the Exchange Act allows the Commission to designate a longer period for
review (up to 90 days from the publication of notice of the filing of a
proposed rule change) if the Commission finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or as to which
[[Page 84214]]
the self-regulatory organization consents.\7\

The 45th day after publication of the Notice of Filing is October
18, 2024. To provide the Commission with sufficient time to consider
the Proposed Rule Change, the Commission finds that it is appropriate
to designate a longer period within which to act on the Proposed Rule
Change and therefore is extending this 45-day time period.
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act,\8\ designates December 2, 2024, as the date by which the
Commission shall either approve, disapprove, or institute proceedings
to determine whether to disapprove proposed rule change SR-NSCC-2024-
006.
