| 2015-03834 | Position Limits for Derivatives and Aggregation of Positions | Proposed Rule | On December 12, 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (the "Position Limits Proposal") to establish speculative position limits for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and options contracts and the physical commodity swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. On November 15, 2013, the Commission published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (the "Aggregation Proposal") to amend existing regulations setting out the Commission's policy for aggregation under its position limits regime. The Commission's Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee has scheduled a public meeting to be held on February 26, 2015, which will consider, among other matters, exemptions for bona fide hedging positions. In conjunction with the meeting of the Commission's Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee, the Commission will post an agenda and associated materials, if any, on the Commission's Web site; additionally, access to a video webcast of the meeting will be added to the Web site. In addition, and in connection with the meeting, the Commission is providing counts of the unique persons over percentages of the 28 proposed position limit levels (currently provided in Table 11 of the Position Limits Proposal based on counts from the period of January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2012 period) in a new table, Table 11a, based on counts from the period of January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014. To provide commenters with a sufficient period of time to respond to questions raised and points made at the Energy and Environmental Markets Committee meeting, as well as to provide an opportunity to comment on Table 11a, the Commission will reopen the comment periods for an additional 30 days. The Commission is providing notice that comments may be made on the issues addressed at the meeting or in the associated materials posted to the Commission's Web site, as they pertain to energy commodities. Furthermore, comments may be made on Table 11a, showing counts of the unique persons over percentages of the 28 proposed position limit levels based on counts from the period of January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014. | 2015-02-25 | 2015 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/02/25/2015-03834/position-limits-for-derivatives-and-aggregation-of-positions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-02-25/pdf/2015-03834.pdf | Commodity Futures Trading Commission | 77 | On December 12, 2013, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (the "Position Limits Proposal") to establish speculative position limits for 28 exempt and agricultural... |
