| Termination of e-miNY Trading Permits in Crude Oil |
|---|
| In a previously released Notice to Members (No. 04-110) dated March 9, 2004, it was stated that if the average daily volume of either e-miNY crude or e-miNY natural gas reached 3,000 contracts for a period of 22 business days, that no further e-miNY Floor Trading Permits would be issued in that product.
That threshold has been met for e-miNY crude oil. Therefore, as of September 8, 2004, e-miNY Floor Trading Permits for e-miNY crude oil will no longer be issued. NYMEX Members may still submit new applications for e-miNY Trading Permits for e-miNY natural gas futures until such time that the average daily volume of 3,000 contracts for a period of 22 business days has been reached. Once this threshold has been met, no further e-miNY Trading Permits will be issued. Once a NYMEX Member is approved for an e-miNY Trading Permit for natural gas and has received a booth assignment, the booth must be staffed with an e-miNY Designee within 30 days of the assignment. The e-miNY Designee must be present at the booth on a daily basis consistent with regular trading hours. Those e-miNY Trading Permit holders that do not meet the criteria stated above will have their e-miNY Trading Permit revoked. |
