SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission is reopening the period for 

public comment on proposed 

amendments to regulation 150.2.1 The 

amendments were proposed on 

November 21, 2007 and the comment 

period initially closed on December 21, 

2007.2 The amendments, if adopted by 

the Commission, would increase the 

Federal speculative position limits 

enumerated in regulation 150.2 for all 

single-month and all-months-combined 

positions in all commodities except 

oats, pursuant to parameters specified in 

Commission regulation 150.5(c). The 

amendments would also aggregate 

positions in all designated contract 

market products that share substantially 

identical terms with the contracts 

enumerated in regulation 150.2 for the 

purposes of ascertaining compliance 

with the Federal speculative position 

limits. 

By letter dated December 7, 2007, the 

National Grain and Feed Association, an 

association representing companies that 

utilize exchange traded agricultural 

contracts to manage price and inventory 

risks,3 and by letter dated December 14, 

2007, the American Bakers Association, 

an association representing the interests 

of the wholesale baking industry,4

requested an extension of the comment 

period to better develop a response to 

Commission’s proposed amendments. 

While the Commission has received 

commentary on the proposed 

amendments,5 it believes that it would 

be appropriate to reopen the comment 

period to ensure that an adequate 

opportunity is provided for the 

submission of additional meaningful 

and substantive comments. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined to reopen the comment 

period for the proposed amendments to 

regulation 150.2 to January 21, 2008. 

The Commission notes that it will give 

full consideration to any comment 

received in the interval between the 

closing and reopening of the comment 

period for the proposed amendments. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on December 

21, 2007 by the Commission. 

David A. Stawick, 

Secretary of the Commission.
