SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background Information A. General This notice relates to fees for the Commissions review of the rule enforcement programs at the registered futures associations 1 and designated contract markets DCM, each of which is a self-regulatory organization SRO regulated by the Commission.
The Commission recalculates the fees charged each year to cover the costs of operating this Commission program.2
The fees are set each year based on direct program costs, plus an overhead factor. The Commission calculates actual costs, then calculates an alternate fee taking volume into account, and then charges the lower of the two.3
B. Overhead Rate The fees charged by the Commission to the SROs are designed to recover program costs, including direct labor costs and overhead. The overhead rate is calculated by dividing total Commission-wide overhead direct program labor costs into the total amount of the Commission-wide overhead pool. For this purpose, direct program labor costs are the salary costs of personnel working in all Commission programs. Overhead costs generally consist of the following Commissionwide costs: Indirect personnel costs leave and benefits, rent, communications, contract services, utilities, equipment, and supplies. This formula has resulted in the following overhead rates for the most recent three years rounded to the nearest whole percent: 169 percent for FY 2017, 182
percent for FY 2018, and 174 percent for FY 2019.
C. Conduct of SRO Rule Enforcement Reviews Under the formula adopted by the Commission in 1993, the Commission calculates the fee to recover the costs of its rule enforcement reviews and examinations, based on the three-year average of the actual cost of performing such reviews and examinations at each SRO. The cost of operation of the Commissions SRO oversight program varies from SRO to SRO, according to the size and complexity of each SROs 1 National Futures Association is the only registered futures association.
