This SER supersedes SER 7137 dated July 9, 2014.  This revision reflects the elimination of the Week 3 Crude Oil Weekly Option contract listed for August 15, 2014 expiration, as the monthly Crude Oil Option contract expires on August 15, 2014.

(NYMEX or Exchange) will temporarily amend the listing schedules for the Crude Oil Weekly Option (Rulebook chapter 1011; commodity codes: LO1-LO5) and Natural Gas Weekly Option (Rulebook chapter 1012; commodity codes:  ON1-ON5) contracts as set forth below. The Exchange shall revert back to the conventional listing schedules in August 2014. These contracts are currently listed for trading on CME Globex and the NYMEX trading floor. Please note that effective for trade date Monday, August 11, 2014, these contracts will also be available for submission for clearing via CME ClearPort (see SER-7112R dated July 2, 2014).

The Exchange will notify the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) of the temporary amendment to the listing schedules for the above mentioned Crude Oil Weekly Option and Natural Gas Weekly Option contracts  during the week of July 14, 2014, via the weekly notification procedures set forth in Part 40 of the CFTC Regulations.
