Re: Amendments to Rules 4.06, 4.07 and 16.03 -
Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Act and Regulation 40.6

Dear Ms. Webb:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and
Commission Regulation 40.6, the Board of Trade of the City of New York, Inc. (“Exchange”)
submits, by written certification, amendments to Rules 4.06, 4.07 and 16.03, attached as Exhibit
A.

Rules 4.06 and 4.07

The amendment to Rule 4.06 provides that for all Financial Contracts, other than the USDX®,
i.e., the Currency contracts, the closing call shall be the five (5) minute period prior to the close.
The amendment to Rule 4.07 provides that trading in all Financial Futures and Options Contracts
shall reopen on the Dublin Floor at 2:00 am New York time. Currently, it reopens at 3:00 am
New York time.

Rule 16.03

The amendments to Rule 16.03 would provide that the Last Trading Day for the euro-
forint and dollar-forint futures contracts shall be the second Business Day prior to the 3
Wednesday of the expiry. The effect of the amendment would be to provide for the same Last
Trading Day as almost all of the other Currency futures contracts. Banks no longer need an extra
day to process the forint withdrawals and deposits.



The Exchange certifies that the amendments comply with the requirements of the

Commodity Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
-2-

The amendments were adopted by the Exchange’s Board of Governors on November 17,
2005. The amendments will become effective on a date set by the President after filing with the
Commisson. No substantive opposing views were expressed by members or others with respect
to the amendments.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at

Sincerely,
