    The following coding scheme has been deprecated (since 2019-01-25):
  • CFTC commodityReferencePriceScheme - THIS ITEM WILL REMAIN ON THIS NOTICE UNTIL JANUARY 25, 2020, AS A REMINDER.
    • The CFTC Commodity Reference Price coding scheme is DEPRECATED in first instance and ultimately, after 1 year period (on January 25, 2020), will be removed from the coding scheme archive on the FpML website. The 1 year deprecation period allows the industry to act on the pending removal which we will reconsider upon request during the deprecation period. Rationale for deprecation/removal: The external CFTC commodityReferencePriceScheme is a combination of the internal ISDA/FpML commodityReferencePriceScheme and the external CRP commodityCodeScheme. Keeping the scheme up-to-date requires constant synchronization and verification with the other two schemes. In addition, the different commodity code schemes seem to create confusion for impl ementers. Removing the CFTC commodityReferencePriceScheme simplifies the commodity code scheme structure.
