      For trades dated February 10, 2014 and going forward, all CME US Clearing real-time trade confirmation and allocation messages will carry a Regulatory Trade ID block containing a Unique Trade Identifier (UTI), supplying European Union (EU) clients with a key data element under EMIR (European Market Infrastructure Regulation) regulatory reporting. This is the same block and attribute currently used for the Unique Swap Identifier (USI), which is on some CME Clearing FIXML confirmation messages and used in connection with Dodd-Frank regulatory reporting.
      To assist in complying with EMIR reporting, CME is offering a delegated reporting-on-behalf-of (ROBO) service to all EU customers of CME Clearing US and CME US exchanges. For more information on the CME ROBO service, please contact us at 312-338-7112 or onboarding@cmegroup.com.
      Testing will be available in the New Release environment, beginning January 16, 2014.
      For other questions or further information, please contact CME Clearing Services (CCS) at 312-207-2525 or ccs@cmegroup.com.

      Please note that CME Clearing has made the following update to the Account Reconciliation Reports effective immediately –
      Addition of Holding Account Flag – CME Clearing has added a new column to the report entitled “Holding Account”, which indicates whether a particular account is a holding (aka bunched order) account or not. If this column is set to “Y”, then the account is a holding account. If “N”, then the account is not a holding account. Please note that whether an account is a holding account or not is configurable by RAV Admins within CME Account (RAV) Manager.
      Please see the original advisory notice and updated file specification on page 3 of the advisory notice at this link.

      Effective February 3, 2014, the processing and reporting of long dates for CME deliverable products will change. Firms holding long positions in Live Cattle or Lumber contracts will have a new requirement to begin reporting longs dates on the first intent date of the contracts. In addition, Deliveries Plus will be made available two business days prior to the first intent date to allow firms the ability to add their long dates earlier. Firms submitting long dates during this optional two day period may submit long dates until 8:00 pm CST. Beginning on the first intent date through the last intent date of the given contracts, long dates must be added or updated by 12:00 pm CST for Lumber and 5:00 pm CST for Live Cattle. At this link is the February 2014 Live Cattle and March 2014 Lumber schedule.
