CFTC Staff Letter 14-39: Extension of No-Action Relief for LCH.Clearnet Ltd Clearing Nodal Exchange Contracts

The Divisions of Clearing and Risk and Market Oversight extend the expiration date of the no-action relief granted to LCH.Clearnet Ltd and Nodal Exchange LLC until the earlier of June 30, 2014, or the date the Commission approves or denies LCH's application for an amended DCO registration order. This extension allows LCH and its clearing members to continue clearing futures and options on futures listed on Nodal without enforcement action, despite LCH lacking current authorization for these specific contracts. The relief remains limited to Nodal Contracts currently accepted for clearing and applies to current and future clearing members of LCH.
