Staff of the Division of Market Oversight (DMO) of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are issuing this advisory to remind designated contract markets (DCMs) of the proper procedures for submitting self certifications of an event contract series. The advisory addresses the practice of submitting broad, template style certifications that combine many potential event contract permutations into a single, vague certification.
