COMMISSION
Fees for Reviews of the Rule
Enforcement Programs of Designated
Contract Markets and Registered
Futures Associations
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of 2019 schedule of fees.
AGENCY:
The Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or
‘‘Commission’’) charges fees to
designated contract markets and
registered futures associations to recover
the costs incurred by the Commission in
the operation of its program of oversight
of self-regulatory organization rule
enforcement programs, specifically
National Futures Association (‘‘NFA’’), a
registered futures association, and the
designated contract markets. Fees
collected from each self-regulatory
organization are deposited in the
Treasury of the United States as
miscellaneous receipts. The calculation
of the fee amounts charged for 2019 by
this notice is based upon an average of
actual program costs incurred during
fiscal year (‘‘FY’’) 2016, FY 2017, and
FY 2018.
DATES: Each self-regulatory organization
is required to remit electronically the
applicable fee on or before November 8,
2019.

Director, Commodity Futures Trading
Commission; (202) 418–5697; Three

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background Information
A. General
This notice relates to fees for the
Commission’s review of the rule
enforcement programs at the registered
futures associations 1 and designated

registered futures association.

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): 190 percent for FY 2016, and
175 percent for FY 2017, and 182
precent for FY 2018.
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
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 year-to-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.
As noted above, adjustments to actual
costs may be made to relieve the burden
on an SRO with a disproportionately
