Re: New ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service Future and Related Amendments (17 of 17)

Submission Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Act and Regulation 40.2

Dear Mr. Kirkpatrick:

Pursuant to Section 5c(c)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the “CEA”), and Commission

Regulations 40.2, ICE Futures U.S., Inc. (“Exchange”) submits, by written certification, new Rules

18.A.253-18.A.258, 18.B.417, 18.D.070, 18.E.160, 19.C.154, 19.G.13-19.G.14, amendments to Rules

18.D.011, 18.D.022, 18.D.024, and 18.D.068, and amendments to Resolutions 1 and 2 of Chapters 18 and

19. The new rules and amendments provide for 16 new futures and one new option on futures contracts,

which will be listed on or about December 11, 2023, or such other date as the Exchange shall determine

which shall be no sooner than the second business day following the business day on which this submission

is received by the Commission.

Financial Gas Futures Contracts

a. Enbridge Station 2 Basis, Index, and Swing Futures

The Exchange is listing three new futures contracts relating to the price of natural gas at Station #2

compressor station on the Enbridge BC Pipeline in British Columbia, Canada. The Enbridge Station 2

Swing Future is a daily cash settled Exchange futures contract based upon the daily price published by

Canadian Gas Price Reporter for Station #2. The contract will cease trading on the business day prior to

the contract period, at which point it will cash settle to a price in USD relating to the price of natural gas

at Station #2. Additionally, the Exchange is listing the Enbridge Station 2 Index Future, a monthly cash

settled futures contract based upon the mathematical result of subtracting the monthly price published by

Canadian Gas Reporter for Station #2 from the average of the daily prices published by Canadian Gas

Reporter for the same location. The contract will cease trading on the last business day prior to the first

calendar day of the contract period and will cash settle to a price in USD based on the price of natural gas

at Station #2. Lastly, the Enbridge Station 2 Basis Future is a monthly cash settled futures contract based

upon the mathematical result of subtracting the price of the NYMEX Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures

contract from the monthly price published by Canadian Gas Reporter for Station #2. The contract will

cease trading on the last business day prior to the first calendar day of the contract period and cash settle

to a price in USD related to the difference in prices noted previously.

b. Transco Station 65 Basis, Index, and Swing Futures
The Exchange is listing three new futures contracts relating to the price of natural gas at Station 65

compressor station on the Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Company near the border of Louisiana and

Mississippi. The Transco Station 65 Swing Future is a daily cash settled Exchange futures contract based

upon the daily price published by Platts in its Gas Daily report for Transco Station 65. The contract will

cease trading on the business day prior to the contract period, at which point it will cash settle to a price in

USD relating to the price of natural gas at Station 65. Additionally, the Exchange is listing the Transco

Station 65 Index Future, a monthly cash settled futures contract based upon the mathematical result of

subtracting the monthly price published by Platts in its Inside FERC report for Station 65 from the

average of the daily prices published by Platts in Gas Daily for the same location. The contract will cease

trading on the last business day prior to the first calendar day of the contract period and will cash settle to

a price in USD based on the price of natural gas at Station 65. Lastly, the Transco Station 65 Basis Future

is a monthly cash settled futures contract based upon the mathematical result of subtracting the price of

the NYMEX Henry Hub Natural Gas Futures contract from the monthly price published by Platts in its

Inside FERC report for Station 65. The contract will cease trading on the last business day prior to the

first calendar day of the contract period and cash settle to a price in USD related to the difference in prices

noted previously.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

accountability levels are provided in relevant documents attached as Exhibit A. All relevant terms of the

contracts are similar to other Financial Gas futures contracts listed by the Exchange. Each of the new

contracts are block eligible. The minimum block trade size has been set consistent with existing Financial

Gas futures contracts. The listing cycle and other relevant specifications are provided in the contract

specifications in Exhibit A. New Exchange Rules 18.A.253-18.A.258 list the new futures contracts. Where

applicable, a Deliverable Supply Analysis detailing the methodology the Exchange used to determine the

spot month position limits for the Financial Gas contracts is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Exchange

has set single and all month accountability levels for such contracts consistent with the spot month position

limits for the products. Additionally, it is the Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced

Financial Gas futures contracts do not meet the definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC

Regulation §150.1.

Financial Power Futures Contracts

The Exchange is listing one new Financial Power contract, the ERCOT Contingency Reserve Service

Future, which is a monthly cash settled futures contract based upon the mathematical average of daily

prices calculated by averaging the hourly electricity prices published by ERCOT for the Contingency

Reserve ancillary services. Ancillary services are tool ERCOT uses to manage uncertainty and variability

on the grid. Ancillary Services capacity is purchased by ERCOT via the day-ahead scheduling market as a

means to balance the next day’s supply and demand of electricity on the grid an mitigate any real-time

operational issues. Ancillary Services can be provided by generators or consumers to increase or decrease

the supply of electricity in a matter of minutes or even seconds. According to ERCOT, Contingency

Reserve represents capacity that can respond within 10 minutes to address forecasting errors or to replace

deployed reserves. The contract will cease trading on the last business day of the contract period and will

cash settle to a price in USD representing the aforementioned prices.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

accountability levels are provided in relevant documents attached as Exhibit A. All relevant terms of the

contract are similar to other Financial Power futures contracts listed by the Exchange. The new contract is

block eligible. The minimum block trade size has been set consistent with existing Financial Power futures

contracts. The listing cycle and other relevant specifications are provided in the contract specifications in

Exhibit A. New Exchange Rules 18.B.417 list the new futures contract. A Deliverable Supply Analysis

detailing the methodology the Exchange used to determine the spot month position limits for the Financial
Power contract is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Exchange has set single and all month accountability

levels for such contracts consistent with the spot month position limits for the product. Additionally, it is

the Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced Financial Power futures contract does not meet

the definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.

Physical Environmental Futures and Option on Futures Contracts

a. Washington Carbon Allowances Vintage 2027 Futures

Washington Carbon Allowance (“WCA”) futures contracts are physically delivered carbon emission

allowance futures contracts. The Exchange currently lists WCA futures contracts for the 2023 through 2026

vintage-years. The term “vintage” identifies the compliance year for which an allowance is designated. The

contracts call for delivery of WCAs, which are issued by the Washington Department of Ecology and

represent one metric ton of CO2 equivalent under Chapter 173-446 WAC of the Climate Commitment Act

and its associated regulations, rules, and amendments, all together known as the “Washington Cap and

Invest Program.” The deliverable instruments for the new futures contracts are WCA equal to the contract

size issued as a limited authorization to emit up to one metric ton of CO2 or CO2-equivalent in the

Washington Cap and Invest Program and have a vintage corresponding to the calendar year of the expiring

contract or allowances having a vintage of any year prior to the calendar year of the expiring contract. The

contract specifications of the new Vintage 2027 (WCE) futures contract will be identical to the existing

WCA futures currently listed by the Exchange, which prescribe that the contract will cease trading three

business days prior to the last business day of the delivery month, at which time the contract will settle

based on physical delivery of the underlying allowances through the Washington Compliance Instrument

Tracking System Services (“CITSS”) Registry. If the specified vintage year allowances do not exist in

Washington CITSS Registry at contract expiry, allowances of any prior vintage year or allowances of the

earliest vintage year available in the Washington CITSS Registry shall be delivered. The last weekend of

December is not considered a business day, unless otherwise specified by the Exchange. Amendments to

Exchange Rule 18.D.068 add the 2027 vintage-year to the suite of existing WCA futures.

b. Washington Carbon Allowance Specific Vintage 2026 and 2027 Futures

The new Washington Carbon Allowance Vintage Specific (“WCAVS”) futures contracts are physically

delivered carbon emission allowance contracts. The Exchange currently lists non-vintage-specific futures

contracts through the 2026 vintage-year, which call for delivery of Washington Carbon Allowances for

the applicable vintage-year and any vintage-year prior. However, the deliverable instruments for the new

WCAVS contracts are Washington Carbon Allowances issued as a limited authorization to emit up to one

metric ton of CO2 or CO2-equivalent in the Washington Cap and Invest Program equal to the contract

size, delivered through the Washington CITSS, which have a vintage corresponding to the specific

vintage-year only. The contract specifications will be identical to other specific vintage and Physical

Environmental futures contracts currently listed by the Exchange, which prescribe that the contract will

cease trading three business days prior to the last business day of the delivery month, at which time will

settle based on physical delivery of the underlying vintage year 2026 or 2027 allowances/instruments, as

applicable. New Exchange Rule 18.D.070 lists the Washington Carbon Allowance Specific Vintage 2026

Future (“WSD”) and Washington Carbon Allowance Specific Vintage 2027 Future (“WSE”) contracts to

the suite of existing Washington Carbon Allowance futures.

c. Option on Washington Carbon Allowance Vintage 2024 Futures

The Exchange is listing one new option on futures contract calling for the delivery of Washington Carbon

Allowances having a vintage of 2024 and allowances having a vintage of any year prior to the 2024 vintageyear. New Exchange Rule 18.E.160 lists the new option on futures contract. The options are European-style

and are based on Vintage 2024 futures contracts listed previously. The new contract will be margined based

on futures-style margining, for which the premium for the contracts will be paid in full at maturity, as
opposed to equity-style margining. The options will expire at 4:00 p.m. (EPT) on the 15th calendar day of

the delivery month. If the 15th calendar day is not a business day, then the expiry day will be the first

business day following the 15th calendar day of the delivery month, consistent with other Physical

Environmental option on futures contracts.

d. California Carbon Allowance Vintage 2027 Futures

California Carbon Allowance (“CCA”) futures contracts are physically delivered carbon emission

allowance futures contracts. The Exchange currently lists futures contracts through the 2026 vintage-year.

The term “vintage” identifies the compliance year for which an allowance is designated. The deliverable

instruments for the existing CCA contracts are California Carbon Allowances issued as a limited

authorization to emit up to one metric ton of CO2 or CO2-equivalent in the California Cap and Trade

Program equal to the contract size, delivered through the California MTS, which have a vintage

corresponding to the specific vintage year or prior to the specific vintage year. The contract specifications

will be identical to other CCA vintage futures contracts currently listed by the Exchange, which prescribe

that the contract will cease trading three business days prior to the last business day of the delivery month,

at which time the contract will settle based on physical delivery of the underlying allowances. Amendments

to Exchange Rule 18.D.022 add the 2027 vintage-year to the suite of existing CCA futures.

e. California Carbon Allowance Specific Vintage 2027 Futures

California Carbon Allowance Vintage Specific (“CCAVS”) futures contracts are physically delivered

carbon emission allowance contracts. The Exchange currently lists vintage-specific futures contracts

through the 2026 vintage-year. The deliverable instruments for the existing CCAVS contracts are California

Carbon Allowances issued as a limited authorization to emit up to one metric ton of CO2 or CO2-equivalent

in the California Cap and Trade Program equal to the contract size, delivered through the California MTS,

which have a vintage corresponding to the specific vintage year only. The contract specifications will be

identical to other CCA vintage futures contracts currently listed by the Exchange, which prescribe that the

contract will cease trading three business days prior to the last business day of the delivery month, at which

time will settle based on physical delivery of the underlying vintage year 2027 allowances/instruments.

Amendments to Exchange Rule 18.D.024 list the 2027 Vintage Specific futures contract to the suite of

existing CCAVS futures.

f. Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Vintage 2025 Futures

The Exchange is listing one new futures contract calling for the delivery of Regional Greenhouse Gas

Initiative CO2 Allowances having a vintage of 2025 and allowances having a vintage of any year prior to

the 2025 vintage year. The amendments to Exchange Rule 18.D.011 include the new 2025 vintage to the

tradable futures markets. The contract specifications are similar to other Physical Environmental futures

contracts currently listed by the Exchange, which prescribe that the Last Trading Day for the contracts shall

be the third business day prior to the last business day of the delivery month, at which time the contracts

will settle based on physical delivery of the underlying RGGI allowances. The last weekday of December

is not considered a business day, unless otherwise specified by the Exchange.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

accountability levels are provided in relevant documents attached as Exhibit A. All relevant terms of the

contract are similar to other Physical Environmental futures and option on futures contracts listed by the

Exchange. The new contracts are block eligible. The minimum block trade sizes have been set consistent

with existing Physical Environmental futures and option on futures contracts. The listing cycle and other

relevant specifications are provided in the contract specifications in Exhibit A. New Exchange Rules

18.D.070 and 18.E.160 list the new futures and option on futures contracts, and amendments to Rules

18.D.011, 18.D.022, 18.D.024, and 18.D.068 list the aforementioned new vintages of existing Physical
Environmental futures contracts. Spot month position limits and single and all-months-combined

accountability levels have been set consistent with existing products that reference Washington Carbon

Allowances, California Carbon Allowances, or Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative futures. Where

applicable, a Deliverable Supply Analysis detailing the methodology the Exchange used to determine the

spot month position limits for the WCAVS Physical Environmental contracts is attached hereto as Exhibit

B. The Exchange has set single and all month accountability levels for such contracts consistent with the

spot month position limits for the product. Option on futures contracts will be aggregated with the futures

contract underlying such option on futures for purposes of position limits and single and all-monthscombined accountability. Additionally, it is the Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced

Physical Environmental futures and option on futures contracts do not meet the definition of referenced

contract as prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.

Oil Americas Futures Contract

a. Gasoline Diff - RBOB Gasoline 1st Line vs Argus Eurobob Non-Oxy FOB Rotterdam Barges Mini

Future

The Exchange is listing one new monthly cash settled futures contract, the Gasoline Diff - RBOB Gasoline

1st Line vs Argus Eurobob Non-Oxy FOB Rotterdam Barges Mini Future (“GDS”), which is a monthly

cash settled mini future based on the difference between the ICE settlement price for RBOB Gasoline 1st

Line Future and the Argus daily assessment price for Eurobob Non-Oxy FOB Rotterdam Barges. The

contract generally represents the differential between gasoline at New York Harbor and Rotterdam during

the contract month. The monthly futures contract supplements the existing suite of Oil Americas contracts

currently listed by the Exchange. The contract will cease trading on the last trading day of the contract

month, at which time the contract will settle to a price in USD and cents per gallon based on the difference

between the average of the settlement prices for the front month RBOB Gasoline Future and the average of

the mean of the high and low quotations appearing in the “Argus European Products” report under the

heading “Northwest Europe light products” for “Eurobob non-oxy” for each business day in the

determination period.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

accountability levels are provided in relevant documents attached as Exhibit A. All relevant terms of the

contract are similar to other Oil Americas futures contracts listed by the Exchange. The new contract is

block eligible. The minimum block trade size has been set consistent with existing Oil Americas futures

contracts. The listing cycle and other relevant specifications are provided in the contract specifications in

Exhibit A. New Exchange Rule 19.C.154 lists the new futures contract. The Exchange has set spot month

position limits and single and all month accountability levels for this contract consistent with the spot month

position limits for the Gasoline Diff - RBOB Gasoline 1st Line vs Argus Eurobob Non-Oxy FOB Rotterdam

Barges Future (“NOX”) product, with which this contract will be aggregated. Additionally, it is the

Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced Oil Americas futures contract does not meet the

definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.

Financial Olefins Futures Contract

a. Propylene Contract Price, I.C.I.S. FD NWE Future

The Exchange is listing one new monthly cash settled futures contract, the Propylene Contract Price, I.C.I.S.

FD NWE Future (“PRF”), which is a monthly cash settled future based upon the contract price per metric

tonne published by ICIS for propylene delivered in northwest Europe. Propylene is a key feedstock for the

petrochemicals industry. The monthly futures contract supplements the existing suite of Financial Olefins

and Financial NGL contracts currently listed by the Exchange. The contract will cease trading on the last

trading day prior to the contract month, at which time the contract will settle to a price in EUR and cents
per metric tonne based on the price published by ICIS for propylene, which is derived from the specified

prices for the delivery date.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

accountability levels are provided in relevant documents attached as Exhibit A. All relevant terms of the

contract are similar to other Financial Olefins futures contracts listed by the Exchange. The new contract is

block eligible. The minimum block trade size has been set consistent with existing Financial Olefins futures

contracts. The listing cycle and other relevant specifications are provided in the contract specifications in

Exhibit A. New Exchange Rule 19.G.13 lists the new futures contract. A Deliverable Supply Analysis

detailing the methodology the Exchange used to determine the spot month position limits for the Financial

Olefins contract is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Exchange has set single and all month accountability

levels for the contract consistent with the spot month position limits for the product. Additionally, it is the

Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced Financial Olefins futures contract does not meet the

definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.

Financial Monomers Futures Contract

a. Benzene Contract Price, I.C.I.S. FD NWE Future

The Exchange is listing one new monthly cash settled futures contract, the Benzene Contract Price, I.C.I.S.

FD NWE Future (“BZF”), which is a monthly cash settled future based upon the contract price per metric

tonne published by ICIS for benzene delivered in northwest Europe. Benzene is extracted from crude oil

for industrial use in, for example, plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, dyes, detergents, and pesticides. The

monthly futures contract supplements the existing suite of Financial Monomers and Financial NGL

contracts currently listed by the Exchange. The contract will cease trading on the last trading day prior to

the contract month, at which time the contract will settle to a price in USD and cents per metric tonne based

on the price published by ICIS for benzene, which is derived from the specified prices for the delivery date.

The contract size, minimum price fluctuation, Interval Price Limits (IPLs) and IPL recalculation times,

where applicable, No-Cancellation Ranges (NCRs), spot month position limits and single and all month

specifications in Exhibit A. New Exchange Rule 19.G.14 lists the new futures contract. A Deliverable

Supply Analysis detailing the methodology the Exchange used to determine the spot month position limits

for the Financial Monomers contract is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Exchange has set single and all

month accountability levels for this contract consistent with the spot month position limits for the product.

Additionally, it is the Exchange’s good faith belief that the above-referenced Financial Monomers futures

contract does not meet the definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.
