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 from the publication of notice of filing of this proposed rule change is September 4, 2015.

The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission action on the proposed rule change. ICC's proposed rule change would provide the basis for ICC to include the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the list of specific Eligible Standard Western European Sovereign ("SWES") Reference Entities to be cleared by ICC. Because the proposed rule change is dependent on the approval and implementation of the proposed rule change in SR-ICC-2015-009, which is currently under Commission review, the Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change.
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5designates October 19, 2015, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to determine whether to disapprove, the proposed rule change (File No. SR-ICC-2015-013).
