Subject Reporting Requirements for Good Friday, April 2, 1999
Effective Date 03/24/99
Notice Number 99-01
The CME is conducting an abbreviated trading session on Good Friday from 7:20 am.-10:00 am. for its interest rate products. The Exchange will be open until 12:00 noon on that day. As a result, April 2, 1999 should be treated as any other business day with respect to regulatory responsibilities - issuing margin calls, preparing segregation and secured amount statements, distributing customer statements, etc. However, April 2, 1999 will not be treated as a business day for purposes of determining the due date for March '31, 1999 financial statements. Thus, a March 31, 1999 Form I-FR or FOCUS Report must be submitted by April 26, 1999 to the Audit Department.

If you have any questions, please call the Audit Department at (312) 930-3230 or e-mail us at audits@cme.com.
