Re: Extension of ICE Futures U.S. Legacy 1st Line and Euro-bob Gasoline-Related 

Futures Liquidity Provider Program - Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of 

the Act and Regulation 40.6

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Regulation 40.6(a), ICE 

Futures U.S., Inc. (“IFUS” or “Exchange”) hereby submits, by written certification, notice that 

the Exchange is extending the term of the ICE Futures U.S. Legacy 1st Line and Euro-bob 

Gasoline-Related Futures Liquidity Provider Program (“Program”) through May 31, 2023. The 

Program, which was launched on February 22, 2018 with the listing of Legacy 1st Line and Eurobob Gasoline-Related Futures Contracts, was scheduled to terminate on November 30, 2022. 

However, the Exchange believes that the program will continue to help tighten markets and build 

interest in the covered products and is, therefore, extending the Program for an additional six 

months, provided, however, that the Exchange in its sole discretion may cancel the Program 

prior to that time. 

The Exchange certifies that the Program complies with the requirements of the 

Commodity Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In particular, 

the Program complies with Core Principle 4 (Monitoring of Trading), Core Principle 9 

(Execution of Transactions) and Core Principle 12 (Protection of Market Participants). The 

Program does not impact order execution priority or otherwise give participants any execution 

preference or advantage. In addition, the Exchange’s Market Regulation Department actively 

monitors for trading abuses using electronic exception reports and will take appropriate action 

against any participants engaging in market abuses. 
The Exchange is not aware of any opposing views with regard to the Program extension, 

which will become effective on December 1, 2022, and further certifies that, concurrent with this 

filing, a copy of this submission was posted on the Exchange’s website at 

(https://www.theice.com/futures-us/regulation#rule-filings). 

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at 212-748-4021
