March 17, 2017.
    On January 27, 2017, NYSE MKT LLC (the ``Exchange'' or ``NYSE 
MKT'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a 
proposed rule change to amend Rules 7.29E and 1.1E to provide for an 
intentional delay to specified order processing. The proposed rule 
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 
15, 2017.\3\ The Commission has received two comment letters on the 
proposal.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79998 (February 9, 
2017), 82 FR 10828.
    \4\ See Letters to Brent J. Fields, Secretary, Commission, from 
John Ramsay, Chief Market Policy Officer, Investors Exchange LLC, 
dated March 10, 2017; and Tyler Gellasch, Executive Director, 
Healthy Markets Association, dated March 10, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides that within 45 days of the 
publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or 
within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate 
if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its 
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization 
consents, 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. The 
45th day for this filing is April 1, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on 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 so that it has sufficient time to consider and 
take action on the Exchange's proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \6\ and for 
the reasons stated above, the Commission designates May 16, 2017, as 
the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove, or 
institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed 
rule change (File No. SR-NYSEMKT-2017-05).
