Title: Request for Comment on a Proposed Exemptive Order Relating to the Trading and Clearing of Options and Futures on the Shares of Precious Metal Commodity-Based ETFs 
Abstract:

This item is being withdrawn.  Staff had been considering a recommendation that the Commission exempt the trading and clearing of options and futures on the shares of commodity-based exchange traded funds that hold or maintain direct exposure to various precious metals.  The considered exemption would have been premised on various conditions including that the products be traded on some form of national securities exchange and the provision of some form of large options position reports to the Commission.  Staff does not have plans to pursue such a recommended course of action at the present time.
