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 
list and trade shares of the iShares Commodity Curve Carry Strategy 
ETF, a series of the iShares U.S. ETF Trust. The proposed rule change 
was published for comment in the Federal Register on March 20, 2019.\3\ 
On April 18, 2019, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed

    On May 1, 2019, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\5\ 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 approve or disapprove the proposed 
rule change.\6\ On June 18, 2019, the Commission published Amendment 
No. 1 for notice and comment and instituted proceedings under Section 
19(b)(2)(B) of the Act \7\ to determine whether to approve or 
disapprove the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.\8\ 
The Commission has received no comments on the proposed rule change.

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \9\ provides that, after initiating 
disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving 
or disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after 
the date of publication of notice of the filing of the proposed rule 
change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order 
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not 
more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is 
appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination. The 
proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the 
Federal Register on March 20, 2019. September 16, 2019, is 180 days 
from that date, and November 15, 2019, is 240 days from that date.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period 
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed 
rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed 
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, pursuant to 
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ the Commission designates November 15, 
2019, as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or 
disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NYSEArca-2019-12), as 
modified by Amendment No. 1.
