On December 29, 2025, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change SR-FINRA-2025-017 (``Proposed
Rule Change'') pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder to
amend FINRA Rule 4210 to replace its current day trading margin
provisions with modern intraday margin standards. The Proposed Rule
Change was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 14,
2026.\3\

\3\ Exchange Act Release No. 104572 (Jan. 9, 2026), 91 FR 1580
(Jan. 14, 2026) (File No. SR-FINRA-2025-017) (``Notice of Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 19(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Exchange Act \4\ 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)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act.\5\ Section
19(b)(2)(A)(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 the self-regulatory organization consents.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 45th day after publication of the Notice of Filing is February
28, 2026. In order 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 take action 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,\7\ designates April 14, 2026, as the date by which the
Commission shall either approve, disapprove, or institute proceedings
to determine whether to disapprove proposed rule change SR-FINRA-2025-
017.
