COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING

COMMISSION

Applications of the CME for

Designation as a Contract Market in

Futures and Options on Frozen Pork

Bellies

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of availability of terms

and conditions of proposed commodity

futures and options contract.

SUMMARY: The Chicago Mercantile

Exchange (CME or Exchange) applied

for designation as a contract market in

futures and options on frozen pork

bellies. The Director of the Division of

Economic Analysis (Division) of the

Commission, acting pursuant to the

authority delegated by Commission

Regulation 140.96, has determined that

publication of the proposals for

comment is in the public interest, will

assist the Commission in considering

the views of interested persons, and is

consistent with the purposes of the

Commodity Exchange Act.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before January 28, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should

submit their views and comments to

Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity

Futures Trading Commission, Three

Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20581. In addition,

comments may be sent by facsimile

transmission to facsimile number (202)

418–5521 or by electronic mail to

secretary@cftc.gov. Reference should be

made to the CME frozen pork bellies

contracts.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Please contact Fred Linse of the

Division of Economic Analysis,

Commodity Futures Trading

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre,

1155 21st Street, NW, Washington, DC

20581, telephone 202–418–5273.

Facsimile number: (202) 418–5527.

Electronic mail: flinse@cftc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CME

stated that:

In the eight months that have passed since

the Fresh Pork Bellies futures contract began

trading, the Exchange has become aware of

a relatively small but still significant demand

for a Frozen Pork Bellies contract. Just as the

Exchange earlier acknowledged the difficulty

of hedging fresh bellies with a frozen-based

futures contract, it now recognizes the

difficulty of hedging frozen bellies with a

fresh-based futures contract. Therefore, the

Exchange has decided to pursue a second,

separate futures contract for Frozen Pork

Bellies that could be listed and traded

independent of the Fresh Pork Bellies futures

contract. This proposed ‘‘new’’ Frozen Pork

Bellies futures contract is identical to the

existing Frozen Pork Bellies futures contract.

Copies of the terms and conditions

will be available for inspection at the

Office of the Secretariat, Commodity

Futures Trading Commission, Three

Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20581. Copies of the

terms and conditions can be obtained

through the Office of the Secretariat by

mail at the above address or by phone

at (202) 418–5100.

Other materials submitted by the CME

in support of the applications for

contract market designation may be

available upon request pursuant to the

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.

552) and the Commission’s regulations

thereunder (17 CFR part 145 (1987)),

except to the extent they are entitled to

confidential treatment as set forth in 17

CFR 145.5 and 145.9. Requests for

copies of such materials should be made

to the FOI, rivacy and Sunshine Act

Compliance Staff of the Office of

Secretariat at the Commission’s

headquarters in accordance with 17 CFR

145.7 and 145.8.

Any person interested in submitting

written data, views, or arguments on the

proposed terms and conditions, or with

respect to other materials submitted by

the CME, should send such comments

to Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity

Futures Trading Commission, Three

Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW,

Washington, DC 20581 by the specified

date.

Issued in Washington, DC, on December

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING

COMMISSION

Application of the NYFE for

Index

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of availability of terms

and conditions of proposed commodity

SUMMARY: The New York Futures

Exchange (NYFE or Exchange) applied

for designation as a contract market in

futures on the NYSE small composite

index.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before January 8, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should

submit their views and comments to

Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity

comments may be sent by facsimile

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Please contact Thomas Leahy of the

Division of Economic Analysis,

Commodity Futures Trading

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre,

21st Street NW, Washington, 20581,

telephone (202) 418–5278. Facsimile

number: (202) 418-5527. Electronic

mail: tleahy@cftc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are

no substantive issues raised by the

application since futures contracts with

similar terms based on the composite

index are actively traded. The Division

believes that for this reason, and in

particular because the proposed contract

is identical to the actively traded

composite index contract (except for the

contract size), a 15-day comment period

is appropriate.

Copies of the terms and conditions

will be available for inspection at the

Office of the Secretariat, Commodity

Futures Trading Commission, Three

Lafayette Centre, 21st Street NW,

Washington, DC 20581. Copies of the
