Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (“CME”) and The Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (“CBOT”) 

(collectively, the “Exchanges”) certify to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or 

“Commission”) the adoption of new CME and CBOT Rule 524.D. (“Trade Marker at Close (“TMAC”) 

Transactions”) which shall apply to certain equity index futures contracts listed in the Table 1. below 

(collectively, the “Contracts”) for trading on the CME Globex electronic platform (“CME Globex”) and for 

submission for clearing via CME ClearPort (collectively, the “Rule Amendments”) effective Sunday, July 30, 

2023 for trade date Monday, July 31, 2023.

TMAC transactions allow market participants to trade index futures contracts at or near the futures marker 

level. This marker is determined by the 30-second volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the 

underlying futures market leading up to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Prevailing Time (“EPT”). The VWAP calculation 

is identical to that utilized for daily settlement, albeit with increased granularity of .01, as opposed to 

settlement price granularity of 0.25. Please note that all E-mini Equity Index Options on Futures contracts 

utilize the same marker price for determining moneyness of European-style options expiring at 4:00 p.m. 

EPT daily.

The Exchanges are concurrently certifying amendments to CME and CBOT Rule 524. effective July 12, 

2023 via Submission No. 23-244 also dated July 12, 2023. For convenience purposes, amendments to 

CME and CBOT Rule 524. are also provided in Appendix B below.

Appendix A provides amendments to the relevant CME and CBOT product chapters. As previously noted, 

Appendix B provides amendments to CME and CBOT Rule 524. Appendix C provides amendments to the 

CME and CBOT Rule 524. Table. Appendix D provides block trade minimum thresholds. Appendix E 

provides the relevant Exchange Fees. 

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

the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA” or “Act”) and identified that the Rule Amendments may have some 

bearing on the following Core Principles: 

Availability of General Information: The Exchanges will release a Special Executive Report 

(“SER”) regarding the Rule Amendments. The SER will also be posted on the CME Group website.

Contracts Not Readily Subject to Manipulation: A review of the Contracts’ activity indicates 

there is sufficient liquidity to support pricing at TMAC. The Contracts are not subject to 

manipulation.

Compliance with Rules: The SER provides information on the Contracts’ TMAC eligibility 

pursuant to CME and CBOT Rule 524. The SER and Table are intended to provide regulatory 

guidance to ensure that market participants are in compliance with Rule 524.

Pursuant to Section 5c(c) of the Act and CFTC Regulation 40.6(a), the Exchanges hereby certify that the 

Rule Amendments comply with the Act, including regulations under the Act. There were no substantive 

opposing views to the proposal. 

The Exchanges certify that this submission has been concurrently posted on the CME Group website at
