Chicago Board of Trade: Proposed Amendments to the Wheat Futures Contract Regarding Vomitoxin in Deliverable Wheat

Samenvatting

The Chicago Board of Trade (CBT or Exchange) has submitted amendments to its wheat futures contract that would permit receivers of wheat futures deliveries to require that wheat loaded out from delivery warehouses have a vomitoxin content of no more than 5 parts per million. The Commission has determined to request public comment on the proposed CBT rule based upon its finding that the proposed rule is of major economic significance within the meaning of section 5a(a)(12) of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) and that its publication is in the public interest and will assist the Commission in considering the views of interested persons.
