A short Federal Register notice confirms the SEC's receipt of a Form 1-N from ICE Futures U.S., the mechanism by which a CFTC-designated contract market registers as a national securities exchange solely for security futures trading. It matters chiefly as a procedural marker for firms tracking venue status and registration effective dates under Exchange Act Section 6(g).

• The Commission acknowledged receipt of the Form 1-N under Exchange Act Section 6(g)(3) in Release No. 34-106567, File No. 10-256, dated October 1, 2026.

• Copies of the Form 1-N and all exhibits are available on the SEC's website.
