Background The Commission collects fees under various provisions of the securities laws. Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’) requires the Commission to collect fees from issuers on the registration of securities.1 Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) requires the Commission to collect fees on specified repurchases of securities.2 Section 14(g) of the Exchange Act requires the Commission to collect fees on proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions.3 The Investor and Capital Markets Fee Relief Act of 2002 (‘‘Fee Relief Act’’) 4 required the Commission to make annual adjustments to the fee rates applicable under these sections for each of the fiscal years 2003 through 2011 in an attempt to generate collections equal to yearly targets specified in the statute.5 Under the Fee Relief Act, each year’s fee rate was announced on the preceding April 30, and took effect five 1 15 U.S.C. 77f(b). U.S.C. 78m(e). 3 15 U.S.C. 78n(g). 4 Public Law 107–123, 115 Stat. 2390 (2002). 5 See 15 U.S.C. 77f(b)(5), 77f(b)(6), 78m(e)(5), 78m(e)(6), 78n(g)(5) and 78n(g)(6). 2 15 PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 days after the date of enactment of the Commission’s regular appropriation. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’) 6 changed many of the provisions related to these fees. The Dodd-Frank Act created new annual collection targets for FY 2012 and thereafter. It also changed the date by which the Commission must announce a new fiscal year’s fee rate (August 31) and the date on which the new rate takes effect (October 1). II. Fiscal Year 2014 Annual Adjustment to the Fee Rate Section 6(b)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the Commission to make an annual adjustment to the fee rate applicable under Section 6(b).7 The annual adjustment to the fee rate under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act also sets the annual adjustment to the fee rates under Sections 13(e) and 14(g) of the Exchange Act.8 Section 6(b)(2) sets forth the method for determining the annual adjustment to the fee rate under Section 6(b) for fiscal year 2014. Specifically, the Commission must adjust the fee rate under Section 6(b) to a ‘‘rate that, when applied to the baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering prices for [fiscal year 2014], is reasonably likely to produce aggregate fee collections under [Section 6(b)] that are equal to the target fee collection amount for [fiscal year 2014].’’ That is, the adjusted rate is determined by dividing the ‘‘target fee collection amount’’ for fiscal year 2014 by the ‘‘baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering prices’’ for fiscal year 2014. Section 6(b)(6)(A) specifies that the ‘‘target fee collection amount’’ for fiscal year 2014 is $485,000,000. Section 6(b)(6)(B) defines the ‘‘baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering price’’ for fiscal year 2014 as ‘‘the baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering price at which securities are proposed to be offered pursuant to registration statements filed with the Commission during [fiscal year 2014] as determined by the Commission, after consultation with the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Management and Budget. . . .’’ 6 Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat.1376 (2010). U.S.C. 77f(b)(2). The annual adjustments are designed to adjust the fee rate in a given fiscal year so that, when applied to the aggregate maximum offering price at which securities are proposed to be offered for the fiscal year, it is reasonably likely to produce total fee collections under Section 6(b) equal to the ‘‘target fee collection amount’’ specified in Section 6(b)(6)(A) for that fiscal year. 8 15 U.S.C. 78m(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 78n(g)(4). 7 15 E:\FR\FM\06SEN1.SGM 06SEN1
