Re: Weekly Notification of Rule Amendments

Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Act and Regulation 40.6 (d) 

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and 

Commission Regulation 40.6(d), ICE Futures U.S., Inc. (“Exchange”) submits notification to the 

Commission that, during the preceding week, the Exchange corrected typographical errors in 

Exchange Rules 18.A.202 and 18.E.116, which provide the terms and conditions of the CGMainline Fixed Price Future (“CGA”) and Option on CG-Mainline Fixed Price Future (“CGA”), 

respectively. Specifically, the Exchange corrected the Reference Price A descriptions to align with 

the contracts’ specifications, which utilize the Inside FERC price for Columbia Gulf, mainline 

index. The amendments were non-substantive in nature and no other amendments were made to 

the terms and conditions of the products. The contracts have no open interest at this time. The 

amendments to the terms and conditions of the products are provided as Exhibit A.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at 312-836-6745

or at patrick.swartzer@theice.com.

Sincerely,

Patrick Swartzer
