RE: Modifications to the NYMEX and COMEX Fee Schedules 

COMEX Submission No. 24-073 (2 of 2)

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX”) and Commodity Exchange, Inc. (“COMEX”) (collectively, the 

“Exchanges”) hereby notify the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) of amendments to 

the NYMEX and COMEX fee schedule (“Fee Schedule”). The modifications to the Fee Schedule will be effective on

February 1, 2024.

The modified Fee Schedule is set forth in Exhibit 1 below, with additions underlined and deletions overstruck.

The Exchanges reviewed the designated contract market (“DCM”) core principles (“Core Principles”) as set forth in the 

Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). During the review, Exchange staff identified the following Core Principles as 

potentially being impacted: 

Availability of General Information: As required by this Core Principle, the Exchanges will publish the modified Fee 

Schedule on the CME Group website to ensure that market participants have been advised of the revised fees. The 

Exchanges also issue a Special Executive Report (“SER”) to the marketplace regarding the revised fees.

Financial Resources: The proposed fee changes will not impact the Exchanges’ ability to discharge its financial, 

operational, or managerial responsibilities as DCMs.

The Exchanges certify that the proposed modifications to the Fee Schedule comply with the CEA and the regulations 

thereunder. There were no substantive opposing views to this proposal. 

The Exchanges certify that this submission has been concurrently posted on the Exchanges’ website at 

http://www.cmegroup.com/market-regulation/rule-filings.html.
