Item 8.01. Other Events.

DB Commodity Services LLC, the managing owner (the "Managing Owner") of PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (the "Fund"), has determined that distributions will not be made to the shareholders of the Fund for the calendar year ending December 31, 2012.

As disclosed in the Fund's prospectus, the Fund makes distributions at the discretion of the Managing Owner. To the extent that the Fund's actual and projected interest income from its holdings of United States Treasury securities and other high credit quality short-term fixed income securities exceeded the actual and projected fees and expenses of the Fund, the Managing Owner has periodically made distributions of a substantial portion of the estimated amount of such excess. In the current interest rate environment, the Fund's interest income has not exceeded the fees and expenses of the Fund; therefore, the Managing Owner has determined not to make distributions for the calendar year ending December 31, 2012.
