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.,

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.''
