    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 
45th day from the publication of notice of filing of this proposed rule 
change is March 16, 2020.

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

    The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission 
action on the proposed rule change, in which ICC would make the changes 
noted above. The Commission finds 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 ICC's proposed rule change.
    Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) \5\ of the Act, and for 
the reasons discussed above, the Commission designates April 30, 2020, 
as the date by which the Commission should either approve or 
disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to 
disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-ICC-2020-002).
