The 45th day for this filing is August 17, 2014. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on 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,\5\ designates October 1, 2014, 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- MIAX-2014-30). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
