[top] On November 7, 2017, Petitioners Susquehanna International Group, LLP, BOX Options Exchange, LLC, MIAX International Securities Exchange, LLC, and Virtu, (collectively "Petitioners") filed an Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time pursuant to Rule 161 of the Commission Rules of Practice?² to extend the time previously provided for in the Commission's September 14, 2017 Corrected Order Scheduling Filing

of Statements on Review ("Corrected Order").³ The Petitioners represent that the motion is unopposed by the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). The Petitioners also represent that they have entered into a confidentiality agreement with OCC on November 1, 2017 to obtain access to the confidential filings that OCC submitted to the Commission on October 13, 2017 to support OCC's proposed rule change. The Petitioners request an extension of time so that they may review these confidential materials and provide the Commission with informed and deliberate comments. The Petitioners further represent that extending the time for comment would allow them the same amount of time, thirty days, to review the materials as was contemplated by the Corrected Order. Given the unopposed nature of the request and the surrounding facts regarding this matter, the Commission believes that granting the extension will serve the interests of justice.
