• The commodity pool definition and related CTA definition;
• The types of structures that may raise particular concerns, including funds, trust, securitization and repackaging vehicles;
• The scope of relief and exemptions;
• The regulation of commodity pools;
• Disclosure, conduct, advertising and related matters; and
• Proposed relaxation of certain CPO related rules.
