Commodity Futures Trading Commission May 30, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On November 18, 2011, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') published in the Federal Register a final rule and interim final rule, which establish a position limits regime for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and options contracts and the physical commodity swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. In response to a petition for exemptive relief under the Commodity Exchange Act and certain comments to the Commission's interim final rule for spot-month limits for cash-settled contracts, this notice proposes certain modifications to the Commission's policy for aggregation under the position limits regime in CFTC regulations.
