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

the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA” or “Act”) and identified that the expansion of the listing schedule of 

the Contracts may have some bearing on the following Core Principles:

• Availability of General Information: NYMEX will issue a Special Executive Report (“SER”) to the

marketplace regarding these amendments. The SER will also be posted on the CME Group 

website. 

• Daily Publication of Trading Information: NYMEX will continue to comply with this Core 

Principle by making public daily information on settlement prices, volume, open interest, and 

opening and closing ranges for the Contracts which will be published daily on the Exchange’s 

website.

• Compliance with Rules: The Exchange shall continue its normal practice to establish, monitor, 

and enforce compliance with the rules of the Contracts, including the expansion of the listing 

schedule of the Contracts. 

• Execution of Transactions: The Exchange will continue its current practice of providing a 

competitive, open, and efficient market mechanism for executing transactions in the Contracts, 

including the expansion of the listing schedule of the Contracts.

Pursuant to Section 5c(c) of the Act and CFTC Regulations 40.6(a), the Exchange hereby certifies that the 

expansion of the listing schedule of the Contracts comply with the Act, including regulations under the Act. 

There were no substantive opposing views to the proposal.

The Exchange certifies that this submission has been concurrently posted on the CME Group website at 

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