amend Section 302 of the Listed Company Manual (the ``Manual'') to 
provide exemptions for the issuers of certain categories of securities

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \4\ 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

proposed rule change. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the 
Act,\5\ the Commission designates August 21, 2019, 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-NYSE-2019-20).
