The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has published a request from LCH.Clearnet Ltd (LCH) to amend the October 2001 Commission order registering LCH as a derivatives clearing organization. The amendments would, among other things, permit LCH to clear financial futures and options executed on a designated contract market, in addition to the over-the-counter interest rate swaps and commercial energy contracts that it currently clears.
The requested amendments can be viewed on the Commission's website at http://www.cftc.gov/tm/tm_dco_orders.htm.
Interested parties may submit comments on or before Friday, March 12, 2004, by filing them electronically to submissions@cftc.gov. All comments received will be posted on the Commission's website.
