      We are pleased to announce a list of CDS enhancements and changes that are scheduled to be implemented in December 2011 and January 2012 respectively. Please see below detailed list of the enhancements, including Production dates.
       
      Platform ID added to TradCaptRpt Messages:
      In PRODUCTION on Monday, December 12, 2011, the Platform ID FIXML tag, ExecID2, is added to the real-time CDS FIXML trade messaging on TradCaptRpt messages. This enhancement is currently available in New Release for testing. CME Clearing will not populate the ExecID2 tag in the EOD CDS FIXML Trade Register until Q1 2012.
       
      Initial Payment added to FIXML Trade Register:
      In PRODUCTIOn on Monday, December 12, 2011, Initial Payment (IPMT) is added to TradCaptRpt messages on the CDS FIXML Trade Register. The Initial Payment tag is added below the Instrmt block with the other Amt fields. This enhancement is currently available in New Release for testing.
       
      Effective Date added to FIXML Trade Register:
      Please note that the CDS Effective Date (EventTyp="8") enhancement will NOT be included in this weekend’s release. We will publish another notice when this is to be released in Production. This enhancement is currently available in New Release for testing.
       
      Correction to Cash_Adj and Posn_Cash on CDS Positions Summary: 
      In PRODUCTION on Monday, January 9, 2012, the Cash_Adj and the Posn_Cash columns on the CDS Positions Summary CSV file are corrected to display the correct values. The Cash_Adj column will now represent the difference between the submitted Up-Front Fee and the CME calculated Up-Front Fee. The Posn_Cash column will now represent daily PAI. These changes have been made in New Release and are currently available for testing. Please keep in mind that CME Clearing has not yet determined a final date for the production launch of daily PAI, thus, until the launch of daily PAI in production, the Posn_Cash column will not contain any value.
       
      For any questions related to the above list of enhancements, please contact CME Client Services at (312) 338-7112 or via email to onboarding@cmegroup.com.

      Consequently, CME Group is reminding all GreenX Clearing Members of GreenX Rule 511, Adherence of Law, which states:
       
      “No Participant or any of its Authorized Traders or Supervised Persons shall engage in conduct in violation of Applicable Law including, but not limited to, laws and regulations relating to economic or trade sanctions, the GreenX Rules or the Clearing House Rules (insofar as the Clearing House Rules relate to the reporting or clearance of any transaction in Contracts).” 
      “Applicable Law” means, with respect to any Person, any statute, law, regulation, rule or ordinance, including laws and regulations relating to economic or trade sanctions, of any governmental or self-regulatory authority applicable to such Person, including the CEA and CFTC Regulations (GreenX Rulebook Chapter 1, Definitions.)
      Accordingly, any CERs from any country on the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) SDN – Specially Designated Nationals list or targeted countries and, thus, subject to U.S. sanctions will not be acceptable for delivery. 
       
      If there are any questions, please contact Deliveries at 312-930-3172.
      Brokerage Payment System (BPS) - Rebranding
      Effective Monday, December 19, 2011, the BPS application will reflect CME branding standards; namely the “look and feel” will be similar to that of the other trade revenue systems; such as the Give-Up Payment System (GPS) and the Exchange Fee System (EFS).
      This upgrade was in design only; current BPS functionality will remain the same. For those interested, the newly branded BPS version is available for review under the Broker Payment System Training link via CME’s certification portal at connectcert.cme.com.
      In an effort to migrate to a single sign-on solution, effective Monday, December 19, 2011, all BPS users will be required to use their CME Portal (connect.cmegroup.com) credentials (user id and password) when accessing the BPS login screen.  
      Should you have any questions or concerns please contact CME Clearing Services at 312.207.2525 or email at ccs@cmegroup.com.
