COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
 

The National Futures Association's Proposed Restriction on the 
Use of Hypothetical Trading Results in Promotional Materials

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 15, 1994, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission 
(``Commission'') published in the Federal Register a request for public 
comment on the National Futures Association's (``NFA's'') proposed 
amendment and Interpretive Notice to its Compliance Rule 2-29. 59 FR 
30776 (June 15, 1994). The proposal would establish restrictions on the 
use of hypothetical trading results in promotional materials. The 
original comment period expires on July 15, 1994.
    By letter to the Commission dated July 11, 1994, the Managed 
Futures Association (``MFA'') requested a thirty-three-day extension of 
the comment period to August 17, 1994. The MFA indicated that it had 
been meeting with its members frequently to consider the issues 
presented by the NFA's proposal. The MFA further indicated that that 
consultative process was continuing and that it believed that 
significant responsive comments were being developed.
    Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by Commission Regulation 
140.96(b), the Director of the Division of Trading and Markets 
(``Division'') has determined that an extension of the period for the 
request for public comments on NFA's proposal is in the public interest 
and will assist the Commission in considering the view of interested 
persons. In order to ensure that all interested persons have an 
adequate opportunity to submit meaningful comments, the Division, on 
behalf of the Commission, is extending the comment period for an 
additional thirty-three days.

DATES: The comment period will remain open through August 25, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit their views and comments to 
Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 2033 K 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20581. Telephone: (202) 254-6314.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David P. Van Wagner, Special Counsel, 
Division of Trading and Markets, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 
2033 K Street NW., Washington, DC 20581. Telephone: (202) 254-8955.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on July 15th, 1994 by the Commission.

Director.
