Re: Rule Certifications. New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. Submission

#05.210: Change in Listed Trading Platform for Two NYMEX Contracts and
Related Rule Amendments

Dear Ms. Webb:

By letter dated yesterday, the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX’ or “Exchange”)
submitted various changes to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission”) relating to the
delisting of two NYMEX mini energy futures contracts from being listed on the CME®’s Globex® electronic
trading platform and the subsequent re-listing of those products on the Exchange’s own NYMEX
ClearPort® Trading electronic platform. Among the rule changes included in that submission were certain
rule changes that were being made to the terms and conditions rules for these contracts. Unfortunately,
that document inadvertently identified as new rule changes certain amendments to NYMEX Rules 401.06
and 402.06 pertaining to termination of trading that had actually been previously submitted to the CFTC in

a self-certification filing dated July 23, 2003. NYMEX regrets the error and is re-submitting a corrected
version of this document as an attachment to this letter.

Should you have any questions concerning the above, please contact the undersigned at (212)
299-2207.
Very truly yours,
Brian J. Regan

Vice President and Counsel
