I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Description of the Proposed Rule 
Change

    OneChicago is proposing to amend the position limits for eighteen 
security futures products, as set forth in Exhibit 4 to the Submission, 
because the speculative position limits for these products were greater 
than 25% of the outstanding number of shares available for delivery. 
The requirement is found in Appendix B to Part 38 in the guidance to 
Core Principle 5 of section 5(d) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). 
Accordingly, OneChicago has filed the reduction notice consistent with 
Core Principle 5.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements 
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The 
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in 
Item IV below. OneChicago has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections 
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
