Possible Revision or Elimination of Rules
This document invites members of the public to comment on the Commission's rules to be reviewed pursuant to section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended (RFA). The purpose of the review is to determine whether Commission rules whose ten-year anniversary dates are in the years 2015-2016, as contained in the Appendix, should be continued without change, amended, or rescinded in order to minimize any significant impact the rules may have on a substantial number of small entities. Upon receipt of comments from the public, the Commission will evaluate those comments and consider whether action should be taken to rescind or amend the relevant rule(s).

Position Limits and Position Accountability for Security Futures Products
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is proposing to amend its position limits rules for security futures products (``SFPs'') by: Increasing the default level of equity SFP position limits, and modifying the criteria for setting a higher level of position limits and position accountability levels. In addition, the proposed amended position limit regulation would provide discretion to a designated contract market (``DCM'') to apply limits to either a person's net position or a person's position on the same side of the market. The Commission also proposes criteria for setting position limits on an SFP on other than an equity security, generally based on an estimate of deliverable supply.

Exchange-Traded Funds
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is proposing a new rule under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ``Investment Company Act'' or the ``Act'') that would permit exchange- traded funds (``ETFs'') that satisfy certain conditions to operate without the expense and delay of obtaining an exemptive order. In connection with the proposed exemptive rule, the Commission proposes to rescind certain exemptive orders that have been granted to ETFs and their sponsors. The Commission also is proposing certain disclosure amendments to Form N-1A and Form N-8B-2 to provide investors who purchase and sell ETF shares on the secondary market with additional information regarding ETF trading costs, regardless of whether such ETFs are structured as registered open-end management investment companies (``open-end funds'') or unit investment trusts (``UITs''). Finally, the Commission is proposing related amendments to Form N-CEN. The proposed rule and form amendments are designed to create a consistent, transparent, and efficient regulatory framework for ETFs and to facilitate greater competition and innovation among ETFs.
