    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \16\ provides that, after initiating
disapproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving
or disapproving the proposed rule changes not later than 180 days after
the date of publication of notice of their filing. The Commission may
extend the period for issuing an order approving or disapproving the
proposed rule changes, however, by up to 60 days if the Commission
determines that a longer period is appropriate and publishes the
reasons for such determination. In this case, the proposed rule changes
were published for notice and comment in the Federal Register on
November 9, 2011; May 7, 2012, is 180 days from that date, and July 6,
2012, is 240 days from that date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed
rule changes so that it has sufficient time to consider the Program and
the issues that commenters have raised concerning the Program.
Specifically, as the Commission noted in the Order Instituting
Proceedings, the Program raises several notable issues, including
whether the Program is consistent with the Sub-Penny Rule and with the
Quote Rule. The Commission's resolution of these issues could have an
impact on overall market structure. As a result, the Commission
continues to consider whether the proposed rule changes are consistent
with these particular Regulation NMS Rules and with the Act.
    Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\17\ designates July 6, 2012, as the date by which the Commission
shall either approve or disapprove the proposed rule changes (File Nos.
SR-NYSE-2011-55 and SR-NYSEAmex-2011-84).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of UC Hub Group, Inc.; Order of Suspension of
Trading

April 19, 2013.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
UC Hub Group, Inc. (``UC Hub'') because it has not filed a periodic
report since it filed its Form 10-Q for the period ending April 30,
2010, filed on June 14, 2010.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of UC Hub. Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section
12(k) of the Exchange Act, that trading in the securities of UC Hub is
suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 19, 2013, through
11:59 p.m. EDT on May 2, 2013.

    By the Commission.

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Designation of a Longer Period for Commission Action on Proposed Rule

and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend Exchange
Rule 11.5 to provide an additional order type, the Route Peg Order. In
addition, the Exchange proposed to amend Exchange Rule 11.8 to describe
the priority of the Route Peg Order relative to other orders on the
EDGX Book. The proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on July 5, 2012.\3\ The Commission received no comment
letters on the proposed rule change.

Act,\5\ designates October 3, 2012 as the date by which the Commission
should either approve or disapprove, or institute proceedings to
