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

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \8\ 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.\9\ 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.\10\ The 
proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register 
on December 27, 2022. June 25, 2023 is 180 days from that date, and 
August 24, 2023 is an additional 60 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 comment 
letters and take action on the proposed rule change. Accordingly, the 
Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\11\ designates 
August 24, 2023, as the date by which the Commission should either 
approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR-FINRA-2022-
032).
