      Due to customer demand, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT or Exchange) will expand its contract month listing rules for five (5) grain and oilseed calendar spread option contracts listed for trading on CME Globex and the CBOT trading floor.   
       
      Due to the suspension of the CFTC regulatory review period because of the U.S. government shutdown, CBOT is unable to provide an effective date for these changes at this time. The effective date will be determined and announced once the CFTC regulatory review activities are resumed.
