Effective Tuesday, November 18, 2014 and pending all relevant CFTC regulatory review periods, the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (“CBOT” or “Exchange”) will amend Chapter 7 of the CBOT Rulebook to introduce CBOT Rule 719 (“Initial Regularity for Delivery against a New Futures Contract”). CBOT Rule 719 shall require that initial regularity for delivery against a new futures contract, concurrent with the listing of such new futures contract, be effective either fifteen (15) days after the Exchange posts a notice that a bona fide application has been received or the day after the application is approved by the Exchange, whichever is later.

Initial regularity and increases in regularity for physically delivered contracts currently listed on the Exchange will continue to be effective either thirty (30) days after the Exchange posts a notice that a bona fide application has been received or the day after the application is approved by the Exchange, whichever is later.
