COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
17 CFR Parts 140 and 145
Corrections to Regional Office Information
AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'') is
amending its regulations to delete references to the Minneapolis
office, which was closed as of December 31, 2006, and to update the
address of the Southwestern regional office.
DATES: Effective April 4, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stacy Yochum, Deputy Executive
Director, at (202) 418-5157, Office of the Executive Director,
Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st
St., NW., Washington DC 20581; e-mail syochum@cftc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Commission Rule 140.2 describes the
organization and location of the Commission's regional offices in New
York, Chicago, and Kansas City (the Eastern, Central, and Southwestern
regional offices). As of December 31, 2006, the Commission closed the
Minneapolis sub-office of the Southwestern regional office. In
addition, the Kansas City office moved to a new location in September
2004. The Commission is therefore amending Rule 140.2 to delete the
reference to the Minneapolis office and to reflect the new address of
the Southwestern regional office. There is no change to the states
covered by the Southwestern region. The Commission is also replacing
the term ``regional director'' with ``regional coordinator'' to reflect
the term used by the Commission to describe the head of each regional
office.
In addition, the Commission is amending the list of addresses
provided in Rule 145.6, which instructs members of the public on where
to direct requests for public records, to remove the reference to the
Minneapolis office and to update the Kansas City address.
