on dual trading in affected contract markets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

the extent the Exchange has requested confidential treatment.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the file are available from the Office of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 4j(a)(3) of the
Commodity Exchange Act and Regulation 155.5 thereunder, a board of
trade may submit a petition to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(``Commission'') to exempt any of its affected contract markets
(markets with an average daily volume of over 8,000 contracts traded
for four consecutive quarters) from the prohibition against dual
trading. Regulation 155.5(d)(6) authorizes the Director of the Division
of Trading and Markets to publish notice of each exemption petition
deemed complete under Regulation 155.5(d) and to make the petition
available to the public as required by section 4j(a)(5) of the Act.
CSCE originally submitted a petition for dual trading exemption on
October 19, 1993. That petition was made available to the public by a
notice of availability published in the Federal Register on December
22, 1993. Pursuant to a request from the Commission, CSCE submitted a
dual trading exemption petition update dated March 21, 1997 for its
contract markets in sugar #11, coffee ``C'' and cocoa futures contracts
and its options on sugar #11, coffee ``C'' and cocoa futures contracts.
Copies of the file containing all these materials and any future
submissions, except to the extent the Exchange has requested
confidential treatment in accordance with 17 CFR 145.9, are available
for inspection at the Commission's Office of the Secretariat, 1155 21st
Street, NW., Washngton, DC 20581, and may be obtained by mail at that
address or by telephone at (202) 418-5100.
Petition materials subject to CSCE's request for confidential
treatment 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), except to the extent they are
[[Page 17180]]
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 FOI,
Privacy and Sunshine Act Compliance Staff of the Office of the
Secretariat at the above address in accordance with 17 CFR 145.7 and
145.8.
The CSCE timely submitted its original petition before October 26,
1993, the effective date of the dual trading prohibition. Therefore,
application of the prohibition against the contract markets covered by
the petition has been suspended in accordance with Commission
Regulation 155.5(d)(5) and will remain suspended until the petition is
acted upon.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 3, 1997.
Jean A. Webb,
Secretary.
