    • Beginning with the August 2009 contract month, the New York Mercantile Exchange Inc. (“NYMEX”) has adopted amendments to NYMEX Rules 231.07, 235.07 and 239.07 to revise the final settlement price for NYMEX Crude Oil Minute-Marker Futures (6C), NYMEX RBOB Gasoline Minute-Marker Futures (6R) and NYMEX Heating Oil Minute-Marker Futures (6H) listed on CME ClearPort clearing and trading systems and on the NYMEX trading floor.  The amendments to NYMEX Rules 231.07, 235.07 and 239.07 are set forth below, with additions underscored and deletions overstruck. 

       

      The amendments revise the final settlement price such that the minute-marker contracts will settle using the underlying settlement prices for the NYMEX Light Sweet Crude Oil, RBOB Gasoline, and Heating Oil futures contracts on the last trading day of the minute-marker contracts.
