COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

17 CFR Parts 10 and 140


Change of Address; Change in Titles of Office and Personnel

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is amending its 
regulations to reflect changes in office titles, personnel titles and 
address in its regulations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 13, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Stacy Yochum, Office of the Executive Director, Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20581, (202) 418-5157.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 26, 1995, the Commission 
published in the Federal Register a notice to execute certain office 
and personnel name changes in Part 10. (60 FR 54801) Specifically, the 
changes implemented 1984 title changes making the Office of Hearings 
and Appeals part of the Office of Proceedings and changing the title of 
the Hearing Clerk to Proceedings Clerk. The purpose of this release is 
to change these titles in section 10.102(e)(2) which was inadvertently 
omitted from the previous release. The previous release also reflected 
the reassignment of the duties of the vacant position of Chief 
Administrative Law Judge to the Director of the Office of Proceedings. 
Section 10.84(b) was inadvertently omitted in the previous release.
    In addition, the Commission's Office of Personnel has changed its 
name to the Office of Human Resources. The Director of the Office of 
Human Resources serves as the Commission's security officer. This 
release changes references in Part 140 from ``Personnel Security 
Officer'' to ``Security Officer'' and from ``Director of Personnel'' to 
``Director of Human Resources.''
