that date, and August 21, 2014 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 Rules so that
it has sufficient time to consider the
amended proposal, the issues raised in
the comment letters, including comment
letters submitted in response to the
Order Instituting Proceedings, and
DTC’s responses to such comments.
Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act,12 designates August 21,
2014, as the date by which the
Commission should either approve or
disapprove the Proposed Rules (SR–
DTC–2013–11).
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.13
