#  Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange, LLC; Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on Proposed Rule Change To Modify the Opening Process

On November 19, 2014, International Securities Exchange, LLC (“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 modify the manner in which the Exchange's trading system opens trading at the beginning of the day and after trading halts and to codify certain existing functionality within the trading system regarding opening and reopening of options classes traded on the Exchange. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the *Federal Register* on December 10, 2014. [^3] The Commission has received no comment letters on the proposal.

[^1] 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

[^2] 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

[^3]*See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73736 (December 4, 2014), 79 FR 73354.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act [^4] 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 these proposed rule changes should be disapproved. The 45th day for this filing is January 24, 2015.

[^4] 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

The Commission is extending the 45-day time period for Commission action on the proposed rule change. 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 and take action on the Exchange's proposed rule change.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I) of the Act [^5] and for the reasons stated above, the Commission designates March 10, 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-ISE-2014-24).

[^5] 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(A)(ii)(I).

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority. [^6]

[^6] 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(31).

Brent J. Fields,

Secretary.
