On May 17, 2001, the Commissions published for public comment proposed Subparts A and B of Part 41 of the CFTC's regulations under the CEA and SEC Rules 3a55-1 through 3a55-3 under the Exchange Act. These proposed rules would implement new statutory provisions of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (“CFMA”) concerning the definition of “narrow-based security index.” The CFMA directed the Commissions jointly to specify by rule or regulation the method to be used to determine “dollar value of average daily trading volume” and “market capitalization” for purposes of the new definition of “narrow-based security index” in the CEA and the Exchange Act.
The proposing release established a deadline of June 18, 2001 for submitting public comments. The Commissions have received requests to extend the deadline. Therefore, the Commissions are extending the comment period to July 11, 2001 so that commenters will have adequate time to address the issues raised by the proposing release.
Dated: June 26, 2001. By the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Jean A. Webb, Secretary.
Dated: June 26, 2001. By the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary.
