Effective Monday, November 21, 2006 the Delivery System is being upgraded with the enhancements necessary for the new Metal process.  Following is a list of the changes:

• Update Storage Paid-Through-Date function will be removed from the Inquire Holdings results.  The date will be displayed but it will not be updateable.
• Any existing holdings that are not involved in a delivery from Thursday, November 16, 2006 or Friday, November 17, 2006 will be deleted from the system.
• Invoice amounts from any Metal assignments on Friday, November 17, 2006 will be automatically paid and collected through the CME Clearing System on Monday, November 20, 2006. 

In addition, Firms will gain the ability to download a Financial invoice into an Excel sheet.  The first use of the function will be available on November 30, 2006.
