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. 22-384

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 August 29, 2022. 

Effective August 30, 2022, the Exchange approved certain London Platinum and Palladium Market 

(“LPPM”) good delivery brands for delivery against the Exchange’s Platinum Futures (PL) and Palladium 

Futures (PA) contracts. The list of brands is located in the “Platinum (PL) Brands” and “Palladium (PA) 

Brands” tabs in the service providers table at the end of Chapter 7 of the NYMEX Rulebook. These 

approvals will increase the brands of available material that can be used to satisfy delivery requirements of 

the Platinum Futures (PL) and Palladium Futures (PA) contracts and will afford market participants 

expanded delivery options. The marketplace was alerted of the changes via MKR #08-30-22, which is 

attached hereto as Exhibit A.

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

Providers” spreadsheet (”Spreadsheet”) for “Platinum (PL) Brands” and “Palladium (PA) Brands.” The 

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

Also effective August 30, 2022, the Exchange implemented administrative amendments to the Strike Price 

Listing and Exercise Procedures Table (the “Table”). The amendments include classification of products by 

asset class and the inclusion of type of margin style of the respective option contracts. No operational 

changes have been made to the option contracts. Amendments to the table are attached under separate 

cover, in blackline format, as Exhibit C.
