    On November 3, 2025, 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 December 16, 2025, the Commission initiated proceedings 
under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \6\ to determine whether to 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 104173, 90 FR 57424 
(Nov. 17, 2025). The Commission designated December 31, 2025, as the

proposed rule change, and the issues raised therein. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ designates May
