Dear CFTC Commissioners: ae

The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. ("NYMEX" or the "Exchange") is notifying the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission (““CFTC” or “Commission”) of rule amendments to the
NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline Futures Contract. The attached rule amendments relate to the
migration of the underlying reference for the NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline Contract from the
existing New York Harbor Gasoline Contract (HU Contract) to the New York Harbor RBOB
Gasoline Contract (RB Contract) beginning on May 30, 2006.

Commencing with the July 2006 NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline futures contract, the
contract price will reference the NY MEX New York Harbor RBOB Gasoline futures contract.
The June 2006 NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline Contract will expire May 30, 2006 at 2:30 PM EST
and be delisted for trading. The July 2006 NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline, which will reference the
RBOB Gasoline Contract, will be listed for trading on May 30, 2006 at 3:15 PM EST for trade
date May 31, 2006. The trading symbol will remain unchanged as QU.

Further, the tick size of the NYMEX miNYTM Gasoline and Heating Oil Contracts has
been changed from $0.002 per gallon ($42.00 per contract tick value) to $0.001 per gallon
($21.00 per contract tick value).

In addition, the trading venue for the four NYMEX miNYTM Futures Contracts (for
Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Gasoline, and Heating Oil) will be changed from the NYMEX
ClearPortTM Trading system to the CME Globex system beginning at 7:00 PM on Sunday
evening, June 11, 2006 for trade date June 12. Each of these NYMEX miNYTM futures contracts
will be available during the normal trading hours on the CME Globex electronic trading
platform. Further, the Exchange will extend the listing of contract months to three consecutive
months on June 11, 2006. The maximum transaction size will also be expanded to 999 contracts.

regulations under the Act. Should you have any questions concerning the above, please contact
