COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
Chicago Board of Trade Rough Rice Futures and Option Contracts
and the Concurrent Transfer of Open Interest in Rough Rice Contracts
From the MidAmerica Commodity Exchange to the Chicago Board of Trade
AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
ACTION: Notice of availability of the terms and conditions of proposed
commodity futures and option contracts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Chicago Board of Trade (CBT or Exchange) has applied for
designation as a contract market in rough rice futures and futures
option contracts. The Director of the Division of Economic Analysis
(Division) of the Commission, acting pursuant to the authority
delegated by Commission Regulation 140.96, has determined that
publication of the proposals for comment is in the public interest,
will assist the Commission in considering the views of interested
persons, and is consistent with the purposes of the Commodity Exchange
Act.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 21, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit their views and comments to
Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 2033 K
Street NW., Washington, DC 20581. Reference should be made to the CBT
rough rice futures and option contracts.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please contact Fred Linse of the
Division of Economic Analysis, Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
2033 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20581, telephone 202-254-7303.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The terms and conditions of the proposed CBT
contracts are identical to those of the MCE rough rice contracts, since
the CBT contracts are intended to replace the existing MCE rough rice
contracts. Under the proposal, concurrent with the listing of the CBT's
proposed rough rice futures and option contracts, the MCE rough rice
futures and option contracts would be delisted and all existing open
interest will be transferred to the CBT from the MCE. The MCE contract
designations for rough rice would remain in force.
The Commission is requesting comment on the proposed CBT contracts
and on the proposal to transfer open interest to the CBT from the MCE.
Copies of the terms and conditions will be available for inspection
at the Office of the Secretariat, Commodity Futures Trading Commission,
2033 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581. Copies of the terms and
conditions can be obtained through the Office of the Secretariat by
mail at the above address or by phone at (202) 254-6314.
Other materials submitted by the CBT in support of the applications
for contract market designation may be available upon request pursuant
to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and the Commission's
regulations thereunder (17 CFR Part 145 (1987)), except to the extent
they are entitled to confidential treatment as set forth in 17 CFR
145.5 and 145.9. Requests for copies of such materials should be made
to the FOI, Privacy and Sunshine Act Compliance Staff of the Office of
the Secretariat at the Commission's headquarters in accordance with 17
CFR 145.7 and 145.8.
Any person interested in submitting written data, views, or
arguments on the proposed terms and conditions, or with respect to
other materials submitted by the CBT, should send such comments to Jean
A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 2033 K Street
NW., Washington, DC 20581 by the specified date.
Issued in Washington, DC, on June 15, 1994.
