III. Background Information
A. General
The Commission recalculates the fees
charged each year with the intention of
recovering the costs of operating this
Commission program.2 All costs are
accounted for by the Commission’s
Management Accounting Structure
Codes (MASC) system, which records
each employee’s time for each pay
period. The fees are set each year based
on direct program costs, plus an
overhead factor.
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
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

registered futures association.

Jkt 208001
Under the formula adopted in 1993
(58 FR 42643, Aug. 11, 1993), which
appears at 17 CFR part 1 Appendix B,
the Commission calculates the fee to
recover the costs of its rule enforcement
review 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 Commission’s SRO
oversight program varies from SRO to
SRO, according to the size and
complexity of each SRO’s program. The
three-year averaging computation
method is intended to smooth out yearto-year variations in cost. Timing of the
Commission’s reviews and
examinations may affect costs—a review
or examination may span two fiscal
years and reviews and examinations are
not conducted at each SRO each year.
Adjustments to actual costs may be
made to relieve the burden on an SRO
with a disproportionately large share of
program costs.
The Commission’s formula provides
for a reduction in the assessed fee if an
SRO has a smaller percentage of United
States industry contract volume than its
2 See Section 237 of the Futures Trading Act of
1982, 7 U.S.C. 16a and 31 U.S.C. 9701. For a
broader discussion of the history of Commission
Fees, see 52 FR 46070 (Dec. 4, 1987).
program labor costs are the salary costs
of personnel working in all Commission
programs. Overhead costs consist
generally 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): 113 percent for fiscal year
2003, 109 percent for fiscal year 2004,
and 109 percent for fiscal year 2005.
These overhead rates are applied to the
direct labor costs to calculate the costs
of oversight of SRO rule enforcement
programs.
