Title: Risk Management Exemption From Federal Speculative Position Limits 
Abstract: In recent years, the Commission has received requests for exemption or relief from Federal speculative position limits, as various entities seek to gain commodity price exposure by tracking an index that contains, among other things, futures contracts that are subject to such limits.
