reimbursement of research and development costs, maintenance costs,
or user fees.

(n) For purposes of this section, rights to, or obligations of, research and development cost reimbursement, maintenance cost reimbursement, or user fees cannot be transferred from any individual or entity unless specifically approved in writing by the Board.

(o) Applicants requesting
reimbursement for research and development costs, maintenance costs, or user fees, may present their request in person to the Board prior to consideration for approval.

(p) Index-based weather plans of insurance are not eligible for
reimbursement from FCIC for
maintenance costs or research and development costs. Submitters of approved index-based weather plans of insurance may collect user fees from other approved insurance providers in
accordance with Procedures Handbook 17050—Approved Procedures for
Submission of Index-based Weather
Plans of Insurance.

**§ 400.713 Non-reinsured supplemental (NRS) policy.** 

(a) Unless otherwise specified by FCIC, any NRS policy that covers the same agricultural commodity as any policy reinsured by FCIC under the Act must be provided to RMA to ensure it does not shift any loss under the FCIC reinsured policy. Failure to provide such NRS policy or endorsement to RMA prior to its issuance shall result in the denial of reinsurance, A&O subsidy and risk subsidy on the underlying FCIC reinsured policy for which such NRS policy was sold.

(b) Three hard copies, and an electronic copy in a format approved by RMA, of the new or revised NRS policy
and related materials must be submitted at least 150 days prior to the first sales closing date applicable to the NRS policy. At a minimum, examples that demonstrate how liability and
indemnities are determined under differing scenarios must be included.

(1) Hard copies of the NRS must be sent to the Deputy Administrator for Product Management (or successor), USDA/Risk Management Agency, Beacon Facility Mail Stop 0812, 9240 Troost Ave., Kansas City, MO 64131–

3055.

(2) Electronic copies of the NRS must be sent to the Deputy Administrator for Product Management (or successor) at DeputyAdministrator@rma.usda.gov.

(c) RMA will review the NRS policy. If any of the conditions found in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this section are found to occur, FCIC will deny reinsurance, A&O subsidy and risk subsidy on the underlying FCIC reinsured policy for which such NRS policy was sold.

(1) If the NRS policy materially increases or shifts risk to the underlying policy or plan of insurance reinsured by

FCIC.

(i) An NRS policy will be considered to materially increase or shift risk to the underlying policy or plan of insurance reinsured by FCIC if it creates an
incentive for moral hazard such as a
financial incentive to increase the number or size of losses or, allows for aggregate indemnities in excess of the expected value of the insured commodity.

(ii) The NRS must include language that clearly states no indemnity will be paid in excess of the initial value of the insured commodity.

(2) The NRS reduces or limits the rights of the insured with respect to the underlying policy or plan of insurance reinsured by FCIC. An NRS policy will
be considered to reduce or limit the rights of the insured with respect to the underlying policy or plan of insurance
if it alters the terms or conditions of the underlying policy or otherwise preempts procedures issued by FCIC.

(3) The NRS disrupts the marketplace. An NRS policy will be considered to disrupt the marketplace if it encourages planting more acres of the insured commodity in excess of normal market demand, adversely affects the sales or administration of reinsured policies, undermines producers’ confidence in the Federal crop insurance program, or harms public perception of the Federal crop insurance program.

(4) The NRS is an impermissible rebate. An NRS may be considered to be an impermissible rebate if FCIC determines that the premium rates charged are insufficient to cover the expected losses and a reasonable reserve
or it offers other benefits that are generally provided at a cost.

(5) The NRS policy is conditioned upon or provides incentive for the purchase of the underlying policy or plan of insurance reinsured by FCIC with a specific agent or approved insurance provider.

(d) RMA will respond not less than 60 days before the first sales closing date or provide notice why RMA is unable to respond within the time frame allotted.

(e) NRS policies reviewed by RMA
will not need to be submitted for a five year period unless a change is made to the NRS or the underlying policy or the loss ratio for the NRS policy exceeds 2.0. Once any changes are made to either policy or the five year period has concluded, the NRS must be
resubmitted for review.

Signed in Washington, DC, on February 13,

2015.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

The Commission has long established and enforced speculative position limits for futures and options contracts on various agricultural commodities as authorized by the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’). 1 The part 150 position limits regime 2 generally includes three components: (1) the level of the limits,
which set a threshold that restricts the number of speculative positions that a person may hold in the spot-month, individual month, and all months combined, 3 (2) exemptions for positions that constitute bona fide hedging transactions and certain other types of transactions, 4 and (3) rules to determine which accounts and positions a person must aggregate for the purpose of determining compliance with the position limit levels. 5 The Position Limits Proposal generally sets out proposed changes to the first and second components of the position limits regime and would establish speculative position limits for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and option contracts, and physical commodity swaps that are ‘‘economically equivalent’’ to such contracts (as such term is used in CEA section 4a(a)(5)). 6 The Aggregation Proposal generally sets out proposed changes to the third component of the position limits regime. 7 The Commission published the Position Limits Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal separately because it believes that the proposed amendments regarding aggregation of positions could be appropriate regardless of whether the Position Limits Proposal is finalized. 8 If the Aggregation Proposal is finalized first, the modifications would apply to the current position limits regime for futures and option contracts on nine enumerated agricultural commodities. If the Position Limits Proposal is subsequently finalized, the modifications in the Aggregation Proposal would apply to the 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 order to provide interested parties with an opportunity to comment on the Aggregation Proposal during the comment period on the Position Limits Proposal, the Commission extended the comment period for the Aggregation Proposal to February 10, 2014, the same end date as the comment period for the Position Limits Proposal. 9

Subsequent to publication of the Position Limits Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal, the Commission directed staff to schedule a June 19, 2014, public roundtable to consider certain issues regarding position limits for physical commodity derivatives. The roundtable focused on hedges of a physical commodity by a commercial enterprise, including gross hedging, cross-commodity hedging, anticipatory hedging, and the process for obtaining a non-enumerated exemption. Discussion included the setting of spot monthlimits in physical-delivery and cashsettled contracts and a conditional spotmonth limit exemption. Further, the
roundtable included discussion of: The aggregation exemption for certain ownership interests of greater than 50 percent in an owned entity; and aggregation based on substantially identical trading strategies. As well, the
Commission invited comment on whether to provide parity for wheat contracts in non-spot month limits. In conjunction with the roundtable, staff questions regarding these topics were posted on the Commission’s Web site.

To provide commenters with a sufficient period of time to respond to questions raised and points made at the roundtable, the Commission published a
document in the Federal Register on May 29, 2014 (79 FR 30762), reopening

10 Questions, presentation materials, and a video
webcast have been made available at http:// www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/Events/ opaevent

_aac120914.

11 See 79 FR 71973 (Dec. 4, 2014). The Commission also provided notice and clarification that, in addition to commenting on the agenda issues noted in the December 4, 2014, Federal Register release providing notice of the reopened comment period, comments could be made on the issues addressed at the meeting or in associated materials posted to the Commission’s Web site, as they pertained to agricultural commodities, including hedges of a physical commodity by a commercial enterprise; and the process for estimating deliverable supplies used in the setting of spot month limits, as each pertained to agricultural commodities. See also 80 FR 200 (Jan. 5, 2015).

12 See 78 FR 75680 at 75731 (Dec. 12, 2013).

13 As is the case for Table 11, the Commission notes that Table 11a is presented using the proposed initial limit levels, without regard to alternatives presented in the proposed rule. See 78 FR at 75839 for the proposed initial limit levels for the spot month. The Commission also proposed alternatives methods for setting initial levels for the spot month. See FR at 75727–8. The proposed initial limit levels for the non-spot months are found at 78 FR 76787 (Dec. 19, 2013). The Commission also proposed an alternative method to establish higher initial limit levels in the non-spot
months. See FR 78 at 75734. the comment periods for the Position Limit Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal for three weeks, from June 12, 2014 to July 3, 2014. The Commission published a document in the Federal Register on July 3, 2014 (79 FR 37973), further extending the comment periods to August 4, 2014.

The Commission’s Agricultural Advisory Committee met on December 9, 2014. The agenda adopted for the meeting included consideration, among other matters, of two issues associated with the Position Limits rulemaking: Deliverable supply and exemptions for bona fide hedging positions. In conjunction with the meeting of the Commission’s Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Commission posted questions and presentation materials on the Commission’s Web site; additionally, access to a video webcast of the meeting was added to the Web

site. 10 To provide interested persons with a sufficient period of time to respond to questions raised and points made at the Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting, the Commission reopened both the Position Limit Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal for an additional 45-day comment period. 11

Comment letters received on the Position Limits Proposal are available at http://comments.cftc.gov/
PublicComments/ CommentList.aspx?id=1436. Comment letters received on the Aggregation Proposal are available at http:// comments.cftc.gov/PublicComments/ CommentList.aspx?id=1427.

II. Reopening of Comment Period

The Commission’s Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee has scheduled a meeting on February 26, 2015. The agenda adopted for the meeting includes consideration of 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
associated materials on the Commission’s Web site; additionally, access to a video webcast of the meeting
will be added to the Web site. To provide interested persons with a sufficient period of time to respond to questions raised and points made at the Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee meeting, the Commission is reopening both the Position Limit Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal for an additional 30-day comment period. The Commission is providing notice that, in addition to commenting on the agenda issues, comments may be made on the issues addressed at the meeting or in associated materials posted to the Commission’s Web site, as they pertain to energy commodities, including hedges of a physical commodity by a commercial enterprise, as pertains to energy commodities.

In addition, and in connection with the Energy and Environmental Markets Advisory Committee meeting, the Commission is providing counts of the unique persons exceeding the 28 proposed position limit levels (currently provided in Table 11 of the Positions Limits Proposal based on counts from the period of January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2012 period 12) by certain specified percentages in a new table, Table 11a, based on counts from the period of January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014. As was the case with Table 11, to provide the public with additional information regarding the number of large position holders in the past two calendar years, Table 11a provides counts of unique persons over 60, 80, 100, and 500 percent of the levels of the position limits proposed for 28 core referenced futures products. 13 Note that the 500 percent line is omitted from Table 11a for contracts where no person held a position over that level. The
Commission notes that in addition to commenting on the agenda issues and on the issues addressed at the meeting or in associated materials posted to the Commission’s Web site, as they pertain to energy commodities, comments may
be made on Table 11a.

**SUMMARY :**  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) is issuing a proposed sunscreen order (proposed order) under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), as amended by the Sunscreen Innovation Act (SIA). The proposed order announces FDA’s
tentative determination that enzacamene is not generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) and is
misbranded when used in over-thecounter (OTC) sunscreen products because the currently available data are insufficient to classify it as GRASE and not misbranded, and additional
information is needed to allow us to
determine otherwise.

**DATES :**  Submit either electronic or written comments on this proposed order by April 13, 2015. Sponsors may submit written requests for a meeting with FDA to discuss this proposed order by March 27, 2015. See section VI for the proposed effective date of a final order based on this proposed order.
