    • Yesterday, August 27, 2012, the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (NYMEX or Exchange) delisted four (4) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) environmental futures contracts, listed below, from CME Globex and CME ClearPort (CPC). These contracts are no longer available for trading and clearing.
      This action was taken as a result of the decision to vacate the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Cross-State Air Pollution Rule issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on August 21, 2012. The court vacated the rule in its entirety, finding it conflicted with the Clean Air Act.
