\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to: (1) 
Provide for the listing of exchange traded products (``ETPs'') that do 
not have any component NMS Stock \3\ that is listed on the Exchange or 
that is based on, or represents an interest in, an underlying index or 
reference asset that includes an NMS Stock listed on the Exchange; (2) 
delete certain redundant listing rules that would be superseded by 
these initial and continued listing and trading requirements for the 
listing of ETPs; and (3) make changes to its unlisted trading 
privileges rule, Rule 5.1(a)(2), as well as certain supplementary 
changes throughout Rules 5P and 8P to conform to the rules of the

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

Act,\6\ designates October 4, 2018, 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 Number
