The
Commission is reopening the period for
public comment on proposed
amendments to regulation 150.2.1 The
amendments were proposed on
November 21, 2007 and the comment
period initially closed on December 21,
2007.2 The amendments, if adopted by
the Commission, would increase the
Federal speculative position limits
enumerated in regulation 150.2 for all
single-month and all-months-combined
positions in all commodities except
oats, pursuant to parameters specified in
Commission regulation 150.5(c). The
amendments would also aggregate
positions in all designated contract
market products that share substantially
identical terms with the contracts
enumerated in regulation 150.2 for the
purposes of ascertaining compliance
with the Federal speculative position
limits.
By letter dated December 7, 2007, the
National Grain and Feed Association, an
association representing companies that
utilize exchange traded agricultural
contracts to manage price and inventory
risks,3 and by letter dated December 14,
2007, the American Bakers Association,
an association representing the interests
of the wholesale baking industry,4
requested an extension of the comment
period to better develop a response to
Commission’s proposed amendments.
While the Commission has received
commentary on the proposed
amendments,5 it believes that it would
be appropriate to reopen the comment
period to ensure that an adequate
opportunity is provided for the
submission of additional meaningful
and substantive comments.
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined to reopen the comment
period for the proposed amendments to
regulation 150.2 to January 21, 2008.
The Commission notes that it will give
full consideration to any comment
received in the interval between the
closing and reopening of the comment
period for the proposed amendments.
