Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act provides that proceedings to determine whether to approve or disapprove a proposed rule change must be concluded within 180 days of the date of publication of notice of filing of the proposed rule change. The time for conclusion of the proceedings may be extended for up to 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2)(B)(ii)(II) of the Exchange Act, the Commission designates November 23, 2024, as the date by which the Commission should either approve or disapprove the Proposed Rule Change SR-LCH SA-2024-002.
