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.
