The Commission asks that commenters 

address the sufficiency of the 

Exchange’s statements in support of the 

proposal, which are set forth in 

Amendment No. 1,58 in addition to any 

other comments they may wish to 

submit about the proposed rule change. 

In particular, the Commission seeks 

comment on the following questions 

and asks commenters to submit data 

where appropriate to support their 

views: 

1. Given the nature of the underlying 

assets held by the Trust, what are 

commenters’ views on whether the 

proposed Trust and Shares would be 

susceptible to manipulation? What are 

commenters’ views generally on 

whether the Exchange’s proposal is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices? What 

are commenters’ views generally with 

respect to the liquidity and transparency 

of the EUA spot and futures markets and 

such markets’ susceptibility to 

manipulation? Are there particular 

features related to the EUA markets and 

the EUA ecosystem that raise unique 

concerns about whether the proposed 

Trust, which would hold EUAs and, 

possibly, a very limited amount of cash, 

would be susceptible to fraud or 

manipulation? 

2. Based on data and analysis 

provided by the Exchange,59 do 

commenters agree with the Exchange 

that ICE Endex, on which EUA Futures 

(including Daily EUA Futures) trade, 

represents a regulated market of 

significant size related to spot EUAs? 60

What are commenters’ views on 

whether there is a reasonable likelihood 

that a person attempting to manipulate 

the Shares would also have to trade on 

ICE Endex to manipulate the Shares? 61

Do commenters agree with the Exchange 

that trading in the Shares would not be 

the predominant influence on prices in 

the Daily EUA Futures market? 62

3. The Exchange further states that the 

‘‘Daily EUA Futures market functions as 

the ‘spot’ market for EUAs’’ and that the 

‘‘purchase and sale of Daily EUA 

Futures is the functional and economic 

equivalent of transactions in spot 

EUAs.’’ 63 What are commenters’ views 

on whether the Daily EUA Futures 

market functions as a spot EUA market? 

What are commenters’ views on the 

extent to which a surveillance sharing 

agreement with ICE Endex would assist 

in detecting and deterring fraud and 

manipulation that impacts an ETP that 

holds spot EUAs, and on whether the 

Exchange’s analysis provides evidence 

to this effect? 

4. In addition to the Exchange’s CSSA 

with ICE Endex, the Exchange asserts 

that there are other mechanisms in place 

to deter and detect misconduct across 

both the EUA spot and derivatives 

markets. Specifically, the Exchange 

states that both EEX and ICE Endex are 

subject to the EU regulatory 

framework 64 and represents that both 

EEX and ICE Endex are recognized by 

the CFTC as authorized Foreign Boards 

of Trade.65 Do commenters agree with 

the Exchange that the EU’s oversight 

and monitoring regime, combined with 

the Exchange’s CSSA with ICE Endex, 

may provide other means to prevent 

fraudulent and manipulative acts and 

practices? 66
