Meeting of the Regional Resource Stewardship Council, 20166-20167 [2013-07695]

Download as PDF 20166 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 64 / Wednesday, April 3, 2013 / Notices cannot conclude that redemptions of Shares would lead to longer queues. According to the commenter, anyone choosing to take physical delivery of copper following redemption will have to bear ‘‘huge storage costs.’’ 32 The holders of Shares, however, also will pay storage costs indirectly through the Trust.33 The commenter does not explain how storage costs, together with the longer queues that the commenter asserts would occur, would discourage redemption, because those who purchase Shares would have to pay storage costs, whether the Shares are redeemed or held. For the reasons discussed above, and based on the record, the Commission cannot conclude that storage costs, together with ‘‘longer’’ queues that the commenter asserts would occur, would discourage the exercise of redemption rights. C. Availability of Particular Copper Brands In comments submitted prior to approval of the proposed rule change, the commenter expressed concern regarding the ability of end users to acquire copper of a preferred brand or in a preferred location.34 The commenter asserted that end users would not acquire Shares and redeem them for physical copper because the copper they would receive in exchange for the Shares might be in a location far from, or might be of brands that are not acceptable to, their plants.35 The Commission addressed these comments in the Approval Order, stating that, regardless of the preferences of these consumers, authorized participants may redeem Shares for copper and the record does not contain any evidence that these or any other consumers of copper could not use the Shares to obtain copper through an authorized participant.36 Further, the Commission stated that the record supports that the same logistical issues exist and are regularly addressed by end-users of copper holding LME warrants,37 and that nothing in the record indicates that copper merchants will not be able to perform the same function in connection with copper mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 32 See EVW January 9 Letter, supra note 6, at 13. Trust’s expenses will include both the Sponsor’s fee, including storage costs, and other expenses. Registration statement for the Trust, amended on July 12, 2011 (No. 333–170085), at 57 (‘‘Registration Statement’’). 34 See V&F September 10 Letter, supra note 7. 35 See Approval Order, supra note 4, at 75474 (citations omitted). 36 See id. 37 See id. 33 The VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:13 Apr 02, 2013 Jkt 229001 delivered in connection with Share redemptions.38 In the post-Approval Order letter, the commenter augments his prior argument by asserting that the purchase and sale of physical copper held by the Trust will not operate in the same way as the trading of copper on LME warrants because copper held by the Trust will not be for sale until after Shares are redeemed. The commenter further argues that the only ‘‘copper that can conceivably be traded by merchants for desired brands is copper on warrant in LME warehouses.’’ 39 Accordingly, the commenter concludes that if, as he predicts, only copper on LME warrant is used to create Shares (and is thereby taken off warrant and unavailable for sale), ‘‘there is a much greater likelihood of there not being copper of the desired brands in the desired locations available for copper merchants to trade.’’ 40 In the Approval Order, the Commission stated that, while the sources of copper used to create Shares are uncertain,41 it believes it is more plausible that a sufficient portion of the estimated 1.4 million metric tons of liquid copper inventories not on LME warrant would be available to authorized participants to use to create Shares.42 Further, as mentioned above, authorized participants will choose the location of copper used to create Shares,43 which makes it difficult to predict the location(s) from which the Trust’s copper will come. Moreover, there is no data in the record concerning the availability of particular brands of copper, much less the availability of particular brands in particular locations.44 The commenter does not provide in his post-Approval Order 38 See id. EVW January 9 Letter, supra note 6, at 17. 40 See id. 41 See Approval Order, supra note 4, 77 FR 75475. 42 See id. at 75475–76. 43 This may be informed by the locational premia in the various authorized warehouse locations, but ‘‘premia in different locations have fluctuated historically relative to one another and will continue to change over time * * * ’’ and ‘‘a region with the highest locational premia at a given time may have the lowest locational premia at a later date.’’ Id. at 75475. 44 The commenter, however, did provide projections that production will increase through 2016 in amounts that also exceed—and in most years greatly exceed—the amount of copper that the commenter predicts the Trust will hold. See V&F August 24 Letter, supra note 7, at 2 (providing data indicating that global refined copper is projected to increase by 519,000 metric tons in 2012; 1,603,000 metric tons in 2013; 1,195,000 metric tons in 2014; 1,091,000 metric tons in 2015, and 375,000 metric tons in 2016). While this data does not support the proposition that particular brands of copper will be more widely available at particular locations in the future, it also does not support the commenter’s contention that particular brands of copper will be more scarce at particular locations in the future. 39 See PO 00000 Frm 00080 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 letter any new evidence to suggest that this scenario of brand scarcity in particular locations is likely to occur as a result of Share creation. Therefore, the Commission does not believe that the record supports the commenter’s argument that, as a result of the Trust, it is much more likely that brandsensitive end-users of copper will not be able to obtain their desired brands of copper at their desired locations. * * * * * By the Commission.
