Grade Specifications

All futures contracts shall be for U.S. No. 2 or better long grain Rough Rice as the same is established by standards promulgated by the United States Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) at the time of the first day of trading in a particular contract. No heat-damaged kernels as defined by USDA FGIS Interpretive Line Slide 2.0 are permitted in a 500-gram sample. No stained kernels as defined by USDA FGIS Interpretive Line Slide 2.1 are permitted in a 500-gram sample. A maximum of 75 lightly discolored kernels as defined by USDA FGIS Interpretive Line Slide 2.2 are permitted in a 500-gram sample. No other grade is deliverable.

To be deliverable, Rough Rice shall have a milling yield of not less than 65%, including not less than 48% head rice. Each percent of head rice over or below 55% shall receive a premium or discount, respectively, from the settlement price for long grain Rough Rice and each percent of broken rice over or below 15% shall receive a premium or discount, respectively. Head rice and broken rice premiums and discounts shall be determined from USDA-CCC loan rates for rice stored in commercial warehouses. Each spring, following the announcement of new loan rates by the USDA-CCC, a trimmed mean from the last five years of loan rates will be calculated by discarding the lowest and highest values and taking the mean of the three remaining values. The Exchange shall announce and publish the calculated new premium and discount schedules for head and broken rice and they shall be applicable to all Rough Rice futures contracts delivered during the next crop year beginning September 1. All Rough Rice shall be of a Southern origin or such other origin as the Exchange may approve.

Delivery Payment

Delivery Payment is to be made in same day funds 1) by a check drawn on and certified by a Chicago bank or 2) by a Cashier’s check issued by a Chicago bank. The long clearing member may effect Delivery Payment by wire transfer only if this method of Delivery Payment is acceptable to the short clearing member. Buyers obligated to accept delivery must take delivery and make Delivery Payment and sellers obligated to make delivery must make delivery before 1:00 p.m. of the day of delivery, or by such other time designated by the Clearing House, except on banking holidays when delivery must be taken or made and Delivery Payment made before 9:30 a.m. the next banking business day, or by such other time designated by the Clearing House. Adjustments for differences between contract prices and delivery prices established by the Clearing House shall be made with the Clearing House in accordance with its rules, policies and procedures.

Storage Charges

Storage charges on rough rice shall not exceed such charges as have been filed with the Exchange in accordance with Rule 17109.A. (which shall be designed to cover costs of storage, insurance and taxes).

No rough rice warehouse receipts shall be valid for delivery on futures contracts unless the storage charges shall have been paid up to and including the 18th day of the preceding month and such payment endorsed on the rough rice warehouse receipt. Unpaid accumulated storage charges at the posted tariff applicable to the warehouse where the rough rice is stored shall be allowed and credited to the buyer by the seller to and including the date of delivery.

If storage charges up to and including the 18 calendar day preceding the delivery months of March, July and September and are not paid by the first calendar day of any such delivery month, a late charge will apply. The late charge will be an amount equal to the total unpaid accumulated storage charges multiplied by the “prime interest rate” in effect on the day that the accrued storage charges are paid, all multiplied by the number of calendar days that storage is overdue divided by 360 days. The term “prime interest rate” shall mean the lowest of the rates announced by each of the following four banks at Chicago, Illinois, as its “prime rate”: Bank of America-Illinois, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Harris Trust & Savings Bank and the Northern Trust Company.

Storage on rough rice shall not exceed 34/100 of a cent per hundredweight per day. Regular Rough Rice warehousemen shall maintain in the immediate vicinity of the Exchange either an office, or a duly authorized representative or agent which is a registered clearing member of the Exchange, to whom Rough Rice storage charges must be paid.
