CFTC Seeks Public Comment on Amended Request from CME Group to Amend Rule 538

The CFTC is requesting public comment on an amended request from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc., the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc., New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., Commodity Exchange, Inc., and the Board of Trade of Kansas City, Missouri, Inc. (collectively, "the Exchanges"), for approval of amendments to existing Rule 538 ("Exchange for Related Positions") of the Exchanges' rulebooks and the issuance of CME Group Market Regulation Advisory Notice RA1311-5. The Exchanges filed a related request on September 12, 2013, seeking approval of the amendments to the rule and advisory notice. However, on November 1, the Exchanges withdrew their previous request and filed an new amendment request for CFTC approval.
