Re: New Crude Diff - ICE Midland WTI American Gulf Coast Trade Month vs WTI Trade

Month Future and Related Amendments (4 of 18)

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

19.A.73-19.A.78, 19.B.19, 19.C.145-19.C.149, and 19.F.38-19.F.41, amendments to Rules 18.D.011 and

18.E.155, and amendments to Resolutions 1 and 2 of Chapters 18 and 19. The new rules and amendments

provide for 18 new futures and option on futures contracts, which will be listed on or about June 26, 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.

Physical Environmental Futures and Option on Futures Contracts

a. Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Vintage 2024 Futures and Option on Futures

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

Initiative CO2 Allowances having a vintage of 2024 and allowances having a vintage of any year prior to

the 2024 vintage year. The amendments to Exchange Rule 18.D.011 include the new 2024 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.

Additionally, the Exchange is listing one new option on futures contract calling for the delivery of Regional

Greenhouse Gas Initiative (“RGGI”) CO2 Allowances having a vintage of 2024 and allowances having a

vintage of any year prior to the 2024 vintage year. The amendments to Exchange Rule 18.E.155 include the

new 2024 vintage to the tradeable markets. The options are European-style and are based on Vintage 2024

futures contracts noted 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 RGGI options contracts.
The contract sizes, minimum price fluctuations, 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

aforementioned Physical Environmental futures and option on futures contracts are similar to other Physical

Environmental futures and option on futures contracts listed by the Exchange. The listing cycle and other

relevant specifications are provided in the contract specifications in Exhibit A. Each of the new contracts

are block eligible. The minimum block trade sizes have been set consistent with existing Physical

Environmental contracts. Amendments to Exchange Rules 18.D.011 and 18.E.155 list the new vintage of

the futures and option on futures contracts. The Exchange has set spot month position limits and single and

all-months-combined accountability levels for the futures contract at levels identical to those of existing

contracts listed by the Exchange for Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative futures contracts. Positions held

in the new option on futures contract will be aggregated with the underlying futures contract (RJ4) for

position limits and single and all-month accountability purposes. Additionally, it is the Exchange’s good

faith belief that neither of the contracts meet the definition of referenced contract as prescribed in CFTC

Regulation §150.1.1

Oil Americas Futures and Option on Futures Contracts

a. Argus Bakken (Patoka) Crude Oil Trade Month Future

The Exchange is listing one monthly cash settled futures contract, the Crude Diff - Argus Bakken (Patoka)

Crude Oil Trade Month Future (“PAB”), which is based on the average of the daily prices published by

Argus for crude oil streams at Bakken Patoka basis WTI Calendar Month Average (CMA NYMEX).

Generally, the BPA futures contract will reflect the value of crude streams originating from the Bakken

formation with a delivery point at Patoka, IL. The relevant market consists of any crude oil stream meeting

the prevailing grade and quality specifications of Bakken crude oil. The contract supplements the existing

suite of Oil Americas and crude oil contracts currently listed by the Exchange. The contract will cease

trading at the close of trading on the last business day that falls on or before the 25th calendar day of the

month prior to the contract month. If the 25th calendar day is a weekend or holiday, trading shall cease on

the first business day prior to the 25th calendar day. The contract will settle to a price in USD and cents per

barrel based on the average of the specified daily prices published by Argus during the determination period.

b. ICE Midland WTI American Gulf Coast Trade Month vs WTI Trade Month Future

The Exchange is listing one monthly cash settled futures contract, the Crude Diff - ICE Midland WTI

American Gulf Coast Trade Month vs WTI Trade Month Future (“HOI”), which is based on the ICE

settlement price for Midland WTI American Gulf Coast Trade Month Future and the settlement price for

WTI Cushing Trade Month Future. The contract generally represents the difference in prices of crude oil

between Houston, TX and Cushing, OK during the relevant trade month. The contract supplements the

existing suite of Oil Americas and crude oil contracts currently listed by the Exchange. The contract will

cease trading at the close of trading at the end of the designated settlement period on the third Business Day

prior to the twenty-fifth calendar day of the month preceding the delivery month. If the twenty-fifth calendar

day of the month is not a business day, trading shall cease at the end of the designated settlement period on

the third business day prior to the last business day preceding the twenty-fifth calendar day. The contract

will settle to a price in USD and cents per barrel based on the average of the specified daily prices published

by ICE during the determination period.

c. D3-D6 RIN Balmo Futures and Monthly Option on Futures

1 17 C.F.R. § 150.1 (October 15, 2020) (providing for referenced contract definition).
The Exchange is listing four new balance of the month (“Balmo”) cash settled futures contracts, the Biofuel

Outright - D3 RINs (OPIS) Balmo Future (“ROT”), Biofuel Outright - D4 RINs (OPIS) Balmo Future

(“ROD”), Biofuel Outright - D5 RINs (OPIS) Balmo Future (“ROF”), and Biofuel Outright - D6 RINs

(OPIS) Balmo Future (“ROS”), which are based on the daily assessment prices published by OPIS for D3,

D4, D5 and D6 RINs. The contracts generally represent the price of the relevant RIN during the Balmo

period. The Balmo futures contracts supplement the existing suite of RIN and biofuel contracts currently

listed by the Exchange. The contracts will cease trading on the last trading day of the contract month, at

which time the contracts will settle to a price in USD and cents per RIN based on the average of the mean

of the high and low quotations appearing in the “OPIS Ethanol and Biodiesel Information Service” report

under the heading “Ethanol & Gasoline Component Spot Market Prices” subheading “U.S. RINs” for

“Current Yr” for each business day in the determination period for the applicable RIN designation (“U.S.

Cellulosic RINs”, “U.S. Biodiesel RINs”, “U.S. Advanced Biofuel RINs”, or “U.S. Ethanol RINs”).

Additionally, the Exchange is listing four new monthly European-style option on futures contracts, the

Biofuel Outright - D3 RINs (OPIS) Average Price Option (“BFH”), Biofuel Outright - D4 RINs (OPIS)

Average Price Option (“RIK”), Biofuel Outright - D5 RINs (OPIS) Average Price Option (“BFI”), and

Biofuel Outright - D6 RINs (OPIS) Average Price Option (“RIN”), which are based on the relevant

underlying futures contracts and generally represent the price of the relevant RIN in USD and cents during

the contract month. The contracts supplement the existing suite of RIN and biofuel contracts currently listed

by the Exchange. The contracts will cease trading on the last trading day of the contract month, at which

time the contract will exercise based on the reference price in USD and cents per RIN equal to the final

settlement price of the underlying futures contracts. The resulting futures contracts cash settle based on the

average price of RINs in USD and cents during the contract month for the applicable RIN designation

(“U.S. Cellulosic RINs”, “U.S. Biodiesel RINs”, “U.S. Advanced Biofuel RINs”, or “U.S. Ethanol RINs”),

as published by OPIS. No manual exercise prior to last trading day is permitted.

d. Marine Fuel 0.5% USGC Barges (Platts) Differential Futures

The Exchange is listing one new Balmo cash settled futures contract, the Fuel Oil Diff - Marine Fuel 0.5%

USGC Barges (Platts) vs Marine Fuel 0.5% FOB Rotterdam Barges (Platts) Balmo Future (in Bbls)

(“MGH”), which is based on the difference between the Platts daily assessment price for 0.5% FOB US

Gulf Coast Barges Marine Fuel and the Platts daily assessment price for 0.5% FOB Rotterdam Barges

Marine Fuel. The contract generally represents the difference in price of US Gulf Coast and European

marine fuels during the determination period. The Balmo futures contract supplements the existing suite of

marine fuel 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 barrel based

on the difference between the average of the “$/barrel” quotations appearing in the “Platts US Marketscan”

under the heading “Marine Fuel” for “0.5% FOB US Gulf Coast barge" and the average of the “$/mt”

quotations appearing in the “Platts European Marketscan” under the heading “Marine Fuel” for “0.5% FOB

Rotterdam barge” for each business day in the determination period. Where the publication days for the

Platts US Marketscan and Platts European Marketscan do not align, non-common pricing applies.

Additionally, the Exchange is listing one new monthly cash settled futures contract, the Fuel Oil Crack -

Marine Fuel 0.5% USGC Barges (Platts) vs Brent Crude 1st Line Balmo Future (“MGG”), which is based

on the difference between the Platts daily assessment for 0.5% FOB US Gulf Coast Barges Marine Fuel

and the ICE settlement price for Brent 1st Line Futures. The contract generally represents the difference in

price of US Gulf Coast marine fuel and the global price of crude oil during the contract month. The monthly

futures contract supplements the existing suite of marine fuel 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 barrel based on the difference between the average of the “$/barrel”

quotations appearing in the “Platts US Marketscan” under the heading “Marine Fuel” for “0.5% FOB US

Gulf Coast barge" and the average of the settlement prices as made public by ICE for the front month Brent

Future for each business day in the contract month.
e. USGC RBOB (Platts) Outright and Differential Futures

The Exchange is listing one new monthly cash settled futures contract, the Gasoline Outright - USGC

RBOB (Platts) Future (“GRF”), which is a monthly cash settled future based on the Platts daily assessment

price for Gulf Coast RBOB. The contract generally represents the price of US Gulf Coast RBOB during the

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

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

average of the “Mid” quotations appearing in “Platts US Marketscan” under the heading “Gulf Coast”

subheading “Houston” and “Prompt Pipeline” for “RBOB 83.7” for each business day in the contract

month.

The Exchange is listing one new Balmo cash settled futures contract, the Gasoline Outright - USGC RBOB

(Platts) Balmo Future (“GRD”), which is based on the Platts daily assessment price for Gulf Coast RBOB.

The contract generally represents the price of US Gulf Coast RBOB during the determination period. The

Balmo futures contract supplements the existing suite of Oil Americas and RBOB 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 average of the “Mid”

quotations appearing in “Platts US Marketscan” under the heading “Gulf Coast” subheading “Houston” and

“Prompt Pipeline” for “RBOB 83.7” for each business day in the determination period. Positions held in

GRD will be aggregate for position limits and accountability purposes.

The Exchange is also listing two gasoline differential futures, the Gasoline Diff - USGC RBOB (Platts) vs

RBOB Gasoline 1st Line Future (“RAB”) and the Gasoline Diff - USGC RBOB (Platts) vs RBOB Gasoline

1st Line Balmo Future (“RAC”), which are based on the difference between the Platts daily assessment for

USGC RBOB gasoline and the ICE settlement price for RBOB Gasoline 1st Line Future. Generally, each

of the contracts represents the price difference between RBOB at the US Gulf Coast and New York Harbor.

The contracts supplement the existing suite of Oil Americas and RBOB contracts currently listed by the

Exchange. The monthly 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 “Mid” quotations appearing in “Platts US Marketscan” under the heading “Gulf Coast”

subheading “Houston” and “Prompt Pipeline” for “RBOB 83.7” and the average of the settlement prices as

made public by NYMEX for the front month RBOB Gasoline Future for each business day in the contract

month. The RAC contract will similarly cease trading on the last trading day of the contract month and will

cash settle to a price in USD and cents per gallon based on the difference between the average of the “Mid”

quotations appearing in “Platts US Marketscan” under the heading “Gulf Coast” subheading “Houston” and

“Prompt Pipeline” for “RBOB 83.7” and the average of the settlement prices as made public by NYMEX

for the front month RBOB Gasoline Future for each business day in the determination period. For purposes

of position limits and accountability, positions held in the RAC contract will be aggregated with positions

held in RAB.

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 Oil Americas futures and option on 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 Oil Americas 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 19.A.73-

19.A.78, 19.B.19, 19.C.145-19.C.149, and 19.F.38-19.F.41 list the new futures and option on futures

contracts. For each new product the Exchange has set spot month position limits, and single and all month

accountability levels consistent with similar Oil Americas futures and option on futures contracts that

reference WTI Midland American Gulf Coast crude oil, D3-D6 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs),
and Marine Fuel 0.5% USGC Barges. Positions held in the balance of the month (“Balmo”) futures

contracts and option on futures contracts will be aggregated with the relevant monthly futures contracts for

position limit and accountability purposes. Where applicable, a Deliverable Supply Analysis detailing the

methodology the Exchange used to determine the spot month position limits for the aforementioned Bakken

Patoka crude oil and RBOB outright and differential 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 Oil

Americas futures and option on futures contracts do not meet the definition of referenced contract as

prescribed in CFTC Regulation §150.1.

Certifications

The rules and amendments establishing the new futures and option on futures contracts’ terms and

conditions are to become effective on the second business day following the business day on which this

submission is received by the Commission. The Exchange is not aware of any substantive opposing views

to the new futures and option on futures contracts. The Exchange certifies that the rule amendments comply

with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Exchange has

reviewed the designated contract market core principles ("Core Principles") as set forth in the Act and has

determined that the listing of the contracts complies with the following relevant Core Principles:

COMPLIANCE WITH RULES

The terms and conditions of the new futures and option on futures contracts are set forth in new

Rules 19.A.73-19.A.78, 19.B.19, 19.C.145-19.C.149, and 19.F.38-19.F.41, amendments to Rules

18.D.011 and 18.E.155, and amendments to Resolutions 1 and 2 of Chapters 18 and 19, and will

be enforced by the Exchange. In addition, trading of the contracts is subject to all relevant

Exchange rules which are enforced by the Market Regulation Department.

CONTRACTS NOT READILY SUBJECT TO MANIPULATION

based on established and liquid underlying cash markets. In addition, trading of the new contracts

will be monitored by the Market Regulation Department.

POSITION LIMITS OR ACCOUNTABILITY

Positions in the new futures and option on futures contracts will be subject to position limits and

accountability levels set by the Exchange. As described above, such position limits are based upon

existing levels set for substantially similar products at the Exchange or based on the deliverable

supply of the cash commodity underlying the contract. Positions held in the new option on futures

contracts will be aggregated with the futures contract underlying the option contract for purposes

of position limits and accountability.

FINANCIAL INTEGRITY OF CONTRACTS

The new futures and option on futures contracts will be cleared by ICE Clear Europe, a registered

derivatives clearing organization subject to Commission regulation, and carried by registered

futures commission merchants qualified to handle customer business.

The Exchange is not aware of any opposing views expressed by members or others regarding the listing of

the new futures and option on futures contracts and the adoption of related amendments. The Exchange

further certifies that concurrent with this filing a copy of this submission was posted on the Exchange’s

website, which may be accessed at: (https://www.theice.com/futures-us/regulation#rule-filings).
