Outright price reporting agency index contract
(5) Outright price reporting agency index contract means any outright commodity derivative contract whose settlement price is based solely on an index published by a price reporting agency that surveys cash-market transaction prices, provided, however, that this term does not include any commodity derivative contract that settles at a basis, or differential, between a referenced contract and a price reporting agency index.

17 CFR § C_to_part_150
Scoping language
This appendix C provides guidance regarding the referenced contract definition in 150.1, which provides in paragraph of the definition of referenced contract that the term referenced contract does not include a location basis contract, a commodity index contract, a swap guarantee, a trade option that meets the requirements of 32.3 of this chapter, a monthly average pricing contract, or an outright price reporting agency index contract. The term referenced contract is used throughout part 150 of the Commission's regulations to refer to contracts that are subject to Federal position limits. A position in a contract that is not a referenced contract is not subject to Federal position limits, and, as a consequence, cannot be netted with positions in referenced contracts for purposes of Federal position limits. This guidance is intended to clarify the types of contracts that would qualify as a location basis contract, commodity index contract, monthly average pricing contract, or outright price reporting agency index contract.
