proposed rule change to permit the generic listing and trading of 
Multi-Class ETF Shares. The proposed rule change was published for 
comment in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 101655 (Nov, 19, 
2024), 89 FR 92989. Comments on the proposed rule change are 
available at: <a href="https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2024-112/srcboebzx2024112.htm">https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-cboebzx-2024-112/srcboebzx2024112.htm</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 18, 2024, 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 February 12, 2025, the Commission instituted proceedings 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\7\ On March 11, 2025, 
the Exchange filed, and the Commission issued notice of filing of, 
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 101960, 89 FR 105118 
(Dec. 26, 2024).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102408, 90 FR 9937 
(Feb. 19, 2025).
    \8\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 102594, 90 FR 12387 
(Mar. 17, 2025). Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change is also

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 notice and comment in the 
Federal Register on November 25, 2024. May 24, 2025 is 180 days from 
that date, and July 23, 2025 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, as modified by Amendment No. 
1. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\10\ designates July 23, 2025 as the date by which the Commission 
shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as 
modified by Amendment No. 1 (File No. SR-CboeBZX-2024-112).
