Re: CFTC Regulation 40.6(d) Notification. New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX” 

or “Exchange”) Weekly Notification of Amendments Related to Product Terms and 

Conditions.

NYMEX Submission No. 23-238

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Pursuant to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) Regulation 40.6(d), the 

Exchange submits this weekly notification of the following amendments related to product terms and 

conditions made effective during the week of May 29, 2023.

On June 1, 2023, the Exchange corrected typographical errors in the Spot-Month Limit (In Contract Units) 

Leg (1) / Leg (2) column for Brent Crude Oil vs. Dubai Crude Oil (Platts) Futures (Commodity Code: DB) 

and Brent Crude Oil vs. Dubai Crude Oil (Platts) BALMO Futures (Commodity Code: BDB) (collectively, the 

“Contracts”). The Spot-Month Limit (In Contract Units) for Leg 2 should be 5,000,000 since Leg 2 of the 

contract aggregates into Dubai Crude Oil (Platts) Financial Futures (Commodity Code: DC). Pursuant to 

NYMEX Submission No. 23-168 dated May 11, 2023, Exhibit A erroneously populated Spot-Month Limit (In 

Contract Units) for Leg 2 as 7,000,000. The Spot-Month Limit (In Contract Units) for Leg 2 has been 

corrected from 7,000,000 to 5,000,000. The amendments to Exhibit A of NYMEX Submission No. 23-168 

are provided under separate cover as Exhibit A in blackline format.

If you require any additional information, please contact the undersigned at (212) 299-2200 or via e-mail at 

CMEGSubmissionInquiry@cmegroup.com. 

Sincerely, 

/s/ Christopher Bowen

Managing Director and Chief Regulatory Counsel
