Re: CFTC Regulation 40.6(a) Certification. 2022 Delivery Differentials for the Soybean 

Meal Futures and Soybean Oil Futures Contracts.

CBOT Submission 21-439

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick: 

The Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (“CBOT” or the “Exchange”) is certifying to the Commodity 

Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) revised 2022 Soybean Meal Futures (Chapter 13; 

Clearing Code: 06; CME Globex Code: ZM) and Soybean Oil Futures (Chapter 12; Clearing Code: 07; CME 

Globex Code: ZL) delivery differential adjustments, which will become effective with the January 2022

delivery cycle on January 3, 2022. The CBOT Rulebook will be updated as noted in Exhibit A upon the 

effective date of this submission October 11, 2021. The CBOT Rulebook will be further updated as noted 

in Exhibit B to delete obsolete rules following the expiration and last delivery day for the December 2021

contract which, more specifically, shall be on Friday, December 24, 2021 (collectively, the “Rule 

Amendments”).

CBOT Rules 12106. (“Delivery Points”) of Chapter 12 (“Soybean Oil Futures”) and 13106. (“Shipping 

Plants”) of Chapter 13 (“Soybean Meal Futures”) require the Exchange to announce updated territorial 

delivery differentials applicable to these products each calendar year. CBOT Soybean Oil and Soybean 

Meal delivery differentials are updated each January based on a ratio calculated from January through 

August in Soybean Oil and September through August in Soybean Meal.1 

This submission also contains updates to the Special Notices Relating to Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 to 

bring the tables contained in these sections up-to-date with the differentials.

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

Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) and identified the following Core Principles as potentially being 

impacted:

• Compliance with Rules: Yearly adjustments in the delivery differentials are required by the 

contracts’ terms and conditions as set out in CBOT Rule 12106. and Rule 13106.

• Availability of General Information: The Exchange issued a Special Executive Report regarding 

the Rule Amendments which is posted on the CME Group website. The ratios are published on a 

weekly basis from September 1st to August 31st for Soybean Meal and from January 1st to Augusts 

31st for Soybean Oil. This is available to the public on the Exchange’s website in the Deliverable 

1 Please see CBOT Rulebook Chapters 12 and 13 (Rule 12106 (g) through (k) and Rule 13106 (h) through (k)) for 

details regarding the automatic adjustment mechanism in CBOT Soybean Oil and Soybean Meal Futures.

Registrar’s Office for the statutorily required period of time.

Exhibits A and B provide the Rule Amendments effective on October 11, 2021 and December 25, 2021 in 

blackline format. 

The Exchange certifies that the Rule Amendments comply with the CEA and regulations thereunder. 

There were no substantive opposing views to this proposal. 

The Exchange certifies that this submission has been concurrently posted on the Exchange’s website at
