Administrative Amendment to the Position Limit, Position Accountability and Reportable Level Table in Chapter 5 of the NYMEX Rulebook for a Mini Petroleum Spread Futures Contract

The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX”) is amending the NYMEX Chapter 5, Position Limit, Position Accountability and Reportable Level Table to correct a typographical error in the any one month accountability level for the second leg of the Mini Gasoil 0.1 (Platts) Barges FOB Rdam vs. ICE Gasoil Swap futures contract from 500/5,000 to 500/7,000.  This amendment conforms the any one month accountability level of the second leg of the spread contract to that of the futures contract into which the second leg aggregates.  This amendment is effective on trade date September 8, 2011.

Contract related questions can be directed to Chris Reinhardt, Associate Director, Market Surveillance, at 212.299.2882, and Ryne Toscano, Lead Market Surveillance Analyst, at 212.299.2879.
