Position Limits for Derivatives and 

Aggregation of Positions 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; 

reopening of comment periods. 

SUMMARY: On December 12, 2013, the 

Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) published 

in the Federal Register a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (the ‘‘Position 

Limits Proposal’’) to establish 

speculative position limits for 28 

exempt and agricultural commodity 

futures and options contracts and the 

physical commodity swaps that are 

economically equivalent to such 

contracts. On November 15, 2013, the 

Commission published in the Federal 

Register a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (the ‘‘Aggregation 

Proposal’’) to amend existing 

regulations setting out the Commission’s 

policy for aggregation under its position 

limits regime. The Commission has 

directed staff to hold a public 

roundtable on June 19, 2014, to consider 

certain issues regarding position limits 

for physical commodity derivatives. In 

order to provide interested parties with 

an opportunity to comment on the 

issues to be discussed at the roundtable, 

the Commission will reopen the 

comment periods for the Position Limits 

Proposal and the Aggregation Proposal 

for a three-week period starting June 12, 

2014 (one week before the roundtable) 

and ending July 3, 2014 (two weeks 

following the roundtable). 

Comments should be limited to the 

issues of hedges of a physical 

commodity by a commercial enterprise, 

including gross hedging, crosscommodity hedging, anticipatory 

hedging, and the process for obtaining a 

non-enumerated exemption; the setting 

of spot month limits in physicaldelivery and cash-settled contracts and 

a conditional spot-month limit 

exemption; the setting of non-spot limits 

for wheat contracts; the aggregation 

exemption for certain ownership 

interests of greater than 50 percent in an 

owned entity; and aggregation based on 

substantially identical trading strategies. 

DATES: The comment periods for the 

Aggregation Proposal published 

November 15, 2013, at 78 FR 68946, and 

for the Position Limits Proposal 

published December 12, 2013, at 78 FR 

75680, will reopen on June 12, 2014, 

and close on July 3, 2014.

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 component 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

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.8

Position Limits Proposal are available at

Proposal are available at http://

II. Reopening of Comment Period 

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 will focus 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 

will include the setting of spot month 

limits in physical-delivery and cashsettled contracts and a conditional spotmonth limit exemption. Further, the 

roundtable will include 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 invites comment on 

whether to provide parity for wheat 

contracts in non-spot month limits. 

In light of the roundtable, the 

Commission is reopening the comment 

periods for the Position Limit Proposal 

and the Aggregation Proposal. Thus, 

both comment periods will reopen on 

June 12, 2014, and end on July 3, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background 

A. Nutrition Facts Label Proposed Rule 

After the passage of the Nutrition 

Labeling and Education Act of 1990 

(NLEA) (Pub. L. 101–535), which added 

section 403(q) of the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) 

(21 U.S.C. 343(q), we issued various 

regulations related to nutrition 

information on food labels, including 

regulations requiring the declaration of 

certain nutrients, regulations specifying 

the format for nutrition labeling, 

regulations setting reference values for 

use in declaring nutrient content for 

certain nutrients, and regulations 

exempting certain products from 

nutrition labeling (see 21 CFR 101.9). In 

addition, after the passage of the Dietary 

Supplement Health and Education Act 

of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–417), we amended 

our food labeling regulations to 

establish requirements for the nutrition 

labeling of dietary supplements 

(§ 101.9(j)(6) and 21 CFR 101.36). 

Section 403(q) of the FD&C Act specifies 

certain nutrients to be declared in 

nutrition labeling, and authorizes the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

to require other nutrients to be declared 

if the Secretary determines that a 

nutrient will provide information 

regarding the nutritional value of such 

food that will assist consumers in 

maintaining healthy dietary practices. 

The Secretary also has discretion under 

section 403(q) of the FD&C Act to 

remove, by regulation and under certain
