or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the

proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \7\ to determine 
whether to approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified 
by Amendment No. 2.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

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 February 
28, 2025.\10\ The 180th day after publication of the proposed rule 
change is August 27, 2025. The Commission is extending the time period

rule change and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the Commission, 
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates October 26, 
2025, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or
