3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67101 (June 4, 2012), 77 FR 34115 (June 8, 2012) ("Notice").
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act4provides 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 for this filing is July 23, 2012. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period.

The Commission finds that 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 the proposal. Pursuant to NYSE Arca Equities Rule 7.31(h)(4), a Passive Liquidity ("PL") Order is an order to buy or sell a stated amount of a security at a specified, undisplayed price. The PL Select Order would be a subset of the PL Order that would not interact with certain contra-side interest, specifically, any incoming order that: (i) Has an immediate-or-cancel ("IOC") time in force condition, (ii) is an ISO, or (iii) is larger than the size of the PL Select Order.
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5designates September 6, 2012, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or disapprove or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove the proposed rule change.
