SUMMARY: On March 1, 1994, The Commodity Futures Trading Commission

of the Futures Trading Practices Act of 1992. 59 FR 9689 (March 1,

provisions of the proposed rules concerning the maintenance and filing 
of information concerning the futures commission merchant's (``FCM'') 
noncustomer accounts and those provisions requiring the maintenance and 
reporting of financial information concerning an FCM's Material 
Affiliated Persons (``MAPs'') required to be provided on proposed Form 
1.15A.

DATES: Written comments for those provisions subject to the extension, 
as set forth above, must be received on or before September 1, 1994. 
Comments concerning all other provisions of the proposed rules must be 
received on or before July 1, 1994.

(a)(2)(iii), (a)(3) and (a)(4) and proposed Form 1.15A is hereby 
extended for an additional sixty days, to September 1, 1994. The 
comment period for all other provisions of the proposed rules, 
including, but not limited to, the provisions concerning maintenance
