Market participants are reminded that the Market Regulation Department ("Department") has the authority to request books and records as well as other relevant information regarding the nature of a participant's trading and positions in Exchange products and in any related markets as part of its regulatory program.
With specific regard to Platts-related markets that rely upon pricing in NYMEX New York Harbor ULSD Heating Oil and RBOB Gasoline futures markets, ("Heating Oil" and "RBOB" respectively") at 3:15 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET"), Market Regulation will closely monitor activity in those markets and in Heating Oil and RBOB for any evidence of disruptive or manipulative trading. In conducting that surveillance, Market Regulation may routinely request and review books and records related to participants' positions and trading activities in related markets that settle to or reference floating prices determined by the Platts 3:15 p.m. ET Futures Price Assessment ("FPA") of the Heating Oil and RBOB markets.
The current list of contracts which settle at floating prices determined by the Platts 3:15 p.m. FPA are listed in the Schedule A of the Advisory Notice.
Pursuant to Rule 432.L.3., market participants are reminded that it is an offense to fail to produce any books or records requested by authorized Exchange staff within 10 days after such request is made or such shorter period of time as determined by the Exchange in exigent circumstances.
Additionally, Market participants who engage in or plan to engage in Trading at Marker transactions on the Platt's 3:15 p.m. ET FPA in Heating Oil and RBOB are strongly encouraged to review Rule 524 ("Trading at Settlement ("TAS"), Trading at Marker ("TAM") and Matched Order ("MO") Transactions") and the regulatory guidance contained in NYMEX & COMEX Market Regulation Advisory Notice RA1306-4 specific to such activity.
