On October 2, 2012, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend NASDAQ Rule 4751(f)(4) to include a new Intraday Net Asset Value (``INAV'') Pegged Order for Exchange-Traded Funds (``ETFs'') where the component stocks underlying the ETFs are U.S. Component Stocks as defined by Rule 5705(a)(1)(C) and 5705(b)(1)(D) (``U.S. Component Stock ETFs''). The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on October 18, 2012.\3\ The Commission received one comment letter on the proposal.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4. \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68042 (October 12, 2012), 77 FR 64167. \4\ See Letter from Dorothy Donohue, Deputy General Counsel, Investment Company Institute, to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Commission, dated November 8, 2012. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \5\ provides 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 [[Page 70858]] is December 2, 2012. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 proposed rule change, the comments received, and any response to the comments submitted by the Exchange. The proposed rule change would, among other things, amend NASDAQ Rule 4751(f)(4) to create a new INAV Pegged Order type for U.S. Component Stock ETFs. Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,\6\ designates January 16, 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 (File Number SR-NASDAQ-2012-117). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.\7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(57). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin M. O'Neill, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc. 2012-28758 Filed 11-26-12; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8011-01-P
