(‘‘FINRA’’) shall establish such a reasonable accounting support fee and related rules and procedures to provide funding for the GASB. Accordingly, It is ordered, pursuant to Section 19(g) of the Securities Act, that FINRA establish (a) a reasonable annual accounting support fee to adequately fund the annual budget of the GASB; and (b) rules and procedures, in consultation with the principal organizations representing State 4 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(1). 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(2). 6 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(3). 7 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(4). 8 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(5)(A). 9 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(5)(B). 10 See 15 U.S.C. 77s(g)(5)(C). 5 See Sunshine Act Meeting VerDate Mar<15>2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission will hold an Open Meeting on May 18, 2011 at 10 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L–002.
