Because Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change does not materially alter the substance of the proposed rule change or raise unique or novel regulatory issues, Amendment No. 1 is not subject to notice and comment. 5 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78641, 81 FR 59259 (Aug. 29, 2016). 7 In Amendment No. 2, the Exchange: (1) Added the clause ‘‘pursuant to UTP’’ at the end of the sentence that states, ‘‘The Exchange would have to file a Form 19b–4(e) with the Commission to trade these ETPs;’’ (2) in the first footnote that follows that sentence, deleted the clause ‘‘pursuant to Rule 19b–4(e);’’ and (3) at the end of that same footnote, added the reference, ‘‘See proposed Rule 5.1(a)(2); supra note 19 and accompanying text.’’ Amendment No. 2 is available at: https://www.sec.gov/ comments/sr-nyse-2016-44/nyse201644-2.pdf.

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 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 July 14, 2016. January 10, 2017 is 180 days from that date, and March 11, 2017 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 this proposed rule change. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11 designates March 11, 2017 as the date by which the Commission shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule change (File No. SR–NYSE–2016–44).
