Proposed Amendments to the Chicago Board of Trade Soybean Oil Futures Contract; Extension of Comment Period

摘要

The Chicago Board of Trade (CBT or Exchange) has proposed amendments to the Chicago Board of Trade soybean oil futures contract. On January 11, 1999, the Commission published a request for public comment on the proposed amendments for a 30-day comment period ending on February 10, 1999. The Acting Director of the Division of Economic Analysis (Division), acting pursuant to the authority delegated by Commission Regulation 140.96, has determined that extension of the comment period for an additional fifteen (15) days 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.
