COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

Regarding the Listing of New Futures and Option Contracts by Foreign 
Boards of Trade That Have Received Staff No-Action Relief To Provide 
Direct Access to Their Automated Trading Systems From Locations in the 
United States

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is making technical 
corrections to Footnotes 5 and 6 which were published in the Federal 
Register on April 18, 2006 (71 FR 19877). The footnotes are revised as 
follows:
    Footnote 5: The Statement of Policy did not apply to broad-based 
stock index futures and option contracts that are now covered by 
Section 2(a)(1)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Foreign boards of 
trade were (and presently are) required to seek and receive written 
supplemental no-action relief from Commission staff prior to offering 
or selling such contracts through U.S.-located trading systems.
    Footnote 6: This notice of revision will not alter a foreign board 
of trade's obligation to seek and receive written supplemental no-
action relief from Commission staff prior to offering or selling broad-
based securities index futures and option contracts through U.S.-
located trading systems.

    Issued in Washington, DC on April 19, 2006.
Jean A. Webb,
Secretary of the Commission.
