## Abstract

The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 amended the definition of "security" in the Securities Act of 1933 and the definitions of "security" and "equity security" in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to include a security future. We are amending the definitions of "equity security" in the rules under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act to conform them to the statutory definitions with respect to security futures.
