whether there are any legal or
prudential considerations that support
the use by institutional customers of
third-party custodial accounts in
effecting futures transactions. In
addition, the Division is seeking
comments on the costs and expenses
incurred by FCMs, including financing
and potential opportunity costs, in

appropriate and sufficient for FCMs and
banks to make the necessary
adjustments with respect to third-party
custodial arrangements.
