relating to implementation of a fee on

transactions with respect to shares of
the CurrencyShares® Euro Trust and the

which are currently listed and trading
on the Exchange under NYSE Arca
Equities Rule 8.202. The proposed rule
change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on August 20,
2015.3
On September 18, 2015, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,4 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 disapprove the
proposed rule change.5 On November
18, 2016, the Commission instituted
proceedings under Section 19(b)(2)(B) of
the Act 6 to determine whether to
approve or disapprove the proposed
rule change.7 In the Order Instituting
Proceedings, the Commission solicited
responses to specified matters related to
the proposal.8 The Commission has not
received any comments on the
proposal.9
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 10 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, however,
extend the period for issuing an order
approving or disapproving the proposed
rule change by not more than 60 days
if the Commission determines that a
longer period is appropriate and
publishes the reasons for that
determination. The proposed rule
change was published for notice and
comment in the Federal Register on
August 20, 2015.11 The 180th day after
publication of the notice of the filing of
the proposed rule change in the Federal
Register is February 16, 2016.
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.
Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,12 designates April 15, 2016 as the
date by which the Commission should
either approve or disapprove the
proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca–
2015–68).
