<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify"><B>Response</B>:&#9;While there is
some overlap between the investments held by the Fund and those held by the United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (&ldquo;USL&rdquo;),
we believe that the current risk factors address the relevant risks to investors. These risk factors include, among others, <B><I>Accountability
levels, position limits, and daily price fluctuation limits set by the exchanges have the potential to cause tracking error, by
limiting the USO&rsquo;s investments, including its ability to fully invest in the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract, which could
cause the price of shares to substantially vary from the price of the Benchmark Oil Futures Contract, </I></B>and <B><I>USO and
USCF may have conflicts of interest, which may permit them to favor their own interests to the detriment of shareholders. </I></B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in; text-align: justify">We note that we have revised the
conflicts of interest risk factor to address potential conflicts of the sort described above and have included a cross reference
to the section of the prospectus that addresses in greater detail conflicts of interest including the risk . See &ldquo;Conflicts
of Interest&rdquo; on page 54 of the Amendment No. 6. As noted in the risk factor, United States Commodity Funds, LLC (&ldquo;USCF&rdquo;),
and the Fund have no formal policies to resolve conflicts of interest of this type. However, the pursuit by the Fund of its investment
objective does not currently create a meaningful conflict of interest with USL as it relates to the imposition of the accountability
levels and position limits imposed by the CME because of (i) USL&rsquo;s much smaller asset size as compared to that of the Fund
and the fact that, as a result, USL holds far fewer oil futures contracts than the Fund, and (ii) the USL&rsquo;s oil futures contracts
holdings are equally apportioned over each of the next consecutive 12 contract months, unlike the Fund&rsquo;s holdings, which
are concentrated in oil futures contracts that are primarily in oil futures contracts that are in months that are in the front
of the futures curve. USCF is able to manage compliance with the CME accountability levels and position limits in a manner that
currently does not limit the USL&rsquo;s ability to invest in its Benchmark Oil Futures Contracts for the following reasons. First,
USL holds significantly fewer oil futures contracts in the months that are the subject to the CME levels and limits than those
held by the Fund in the same contract months. Second, historically, USL has held a relatively small position in each of twelve
months of oil futures contracts because of the asset levels of USL so that even when USL&rsquo;s holdings are aggregated with the
Fund&rsquo;s holdings, there has not been an issue with respect to CME levels and limits due to the higher notional level of value
of the oil futures markets. Finally, as noted below, the risk mitigation measures imposed by RBC on the Fund but not, as noted
below, imposed on the USL, further reduce the impact on investors of ownership of similar oil futures contracts subject to the
CME limits. As a result, there is no need to include additional disclosure regarding any overlapping investment strategy of the
Fund and the Fund beyond the risk factors and discussions already included in the Fund&rsquo;s prospectus.</P>
