Dear Ms. Block:

On behalf of United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (the “Company”), set forth below is the Company’s response to the comment provided by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) in its letter dated March 25, 2020, relating to the above referenced Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”). The Staff’s comment is set forth below in italics followed by the Company’s response. We are concurrently submitting via EDGAR this letter and an amendment to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”). For the Staff’s reference, we have included both a clean copy of Amendment No. 1 and a copy marked to show all changes from the version filed on March 13, 2020.

1.We note that you do not appear to be eligible to conduct a primary offering pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. on Form S-3. Please advise whether you believe you are eligible to conduct a primary offering on Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. To the extent you do not meet the public float requirement in General Instruction I.B.1., and instead intend to rely upon General Instruction I.B.6., please revise to include the information required by Instruction 7 to General Instruction I.B.6. on the prospectus cover page.

Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and hereby advises the Staff that, due to current market volatility, it is not eligible to conduct a primary offering on Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. As such, the Company has filed Amendment No.1 to convert to a Form S-1 and has revised the relevant portions of the Registration Statement accordingly.
