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 July 24, 2023. 

On July 26, 2023, the Exchange delisted the Joint Stock Company Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant Zinc brand from 

its current brand list for delivery against the Exchange’s physically-delivered Zinc futures contract. The 

marketplace was alerted of the delisting via MKR #07-26-23, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

On July 27, 2023, the Exchange approved the application of Delaware Depository to become an Approved 

Depository for silver at their facility in Aston, PA. The marketplace was alerted of the approval via MKR 

#07-27-23, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

In accordance with the changes above, the Exchange updated the COMEX Rulebook Chapter 7 “Service 

Providers” spreadsheet (“Spreadsheet”) for "Zinc Brands" and "Precious - Depository Weighmaster.” The 

Spreadsheet is attached under separate cover, in blackline format, as Exhibit C.

SUBJECT: Revocation of Approved Status for Warranting and Delivery of the Joint 

Stock Company Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant Zinc Brand from the PhysicallyDelivered COMEX Zinc Futures Contract

Effective immediately, Commodity Exchange, Inc. (“COMEX” or “Exchange”) will delist the Joint Stock 

Company Chelyabinsk Zinc Plant Zinc (brand mark: CZP SHG) zinc brand (the “Brand”) from its current

Brand marks as provide in Chapter 7 of the Exchange Rules. The Brand will no longer be deemed, or 

reported as, eligible for registration and is not currently stored in an Exchange-approved warehouse. 

Accordingly, the Exchange is taking the actions set out in this notice in respect of the Former Approved 

Brands pursuant to Exchange Rule 703.C.

 

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) will be notified of the aforementioned during the week 

of July 31, 2023 via the weekly notification procedures set out in Part 40 of the CFTC’s Regulations.
