Expansion of Listing Months for Crude Oil Futures
Please be advised that the Exchange will expand the listing schedule for the Exchange's Crude Oil futures contracts. Beginning with the Friday February 10 trading session, the Exchange will expand the listings of its Crude Oil futures contracts to 70 consecutive months. The new listing schedule will include each month, beginning with March 2006 through December 2011. An additional nearby calendar year will be available at the open of the business day following the termination of the nearby December contract. For example, when the December 2006 contract terminates on November 17, 2006, all months for calendar year 2012 will be listed for trade date November 20, 2006.

No expansion will take place on the NYMEX ACCESS™ trading platform at this time.
