[Federal Register: December 29, 1997 (Volume 62, Number 248)] [Notices] [Page 67630-67631] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr29de97-51] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION Application of the NYFE for Designation as a Contract Market in Futures on the NYSE Small Composite Index AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 8, 1998. ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit their views and comments to Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 21st Street, NW Washington, DC 20581. In addition, comments may be sent by facsimile transmission to facsimile number (202) 418-5521, or by electronic mail to [email protected]. Reference should be made to the NYFE small composite index contract. [[Page 67631]] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please contact Thomas Leahy of the Division of Economic Analysis, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 21st Street NW, Washington, 20581, telephone (202) 418-5278. Facsimile number: (202) 418-5527. Electronic mail: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are no substantive issues raised by the application since futures contracts with similar terms based on the composite index are actively traded. The Division believes that for this reason, and in particular because the proposed contract is identical to the actively traded composite index contract (except for the contract size), a 15-day comment period is appropriate. Copies of the terms and conditions will be available for inspection at the Office of the Secretariat, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 21st 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) 418-5100. Other materials submitted by the NYFE in support of the application 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 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 NYFE, should send such comments to Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20581 by the specified date. Issued in Washington, DC, on December 18, 1997. John R.
