COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–90932/January 15, 2021]
Order Making Fiscal Year 2021 Annual
Adjustments to Transaction Fee Rates
I. Background
Section 31 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) requires
each national securities exchange and
national securities association to pay
transaction fees to the Commission.1
Specifically, Section 31(b) requires each
national securities exchange to pay to
the Commission fees based on the
aggregate dollar amount of sales of
certain securities (‘‘covered sales’’)
transacted on the exchange.2 Section
31(c) requires each national securities
association to pay to the Commission
fees based on the aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales transacted by or
through any member of the association
other than on an exchange.3
Section 31 of the Exchange Act
requires the Commission to annually
adjust the fee rates applicable under
Sections 31(b) and (c) to a uniform
adjusted rate.4 Specifically, the
Commission must adjust the fee rates to
a uniform adjusted rate that is
reasonably likely to produce aggregate
fee collections (including assessments
on security futures transactions) equal
to the regular appropriation to the
73 17
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).
U.S.C. 78ee.
2 15 U.S.C. 78ee(b).
3 15 U.S.C. 78ee(c).
4 In some circumstances, the SEC also must make
a mid-year adjustment to the fee rates applicable
under Sections 31(b) and (c).

Commission for the applicable fiscal
year.5
The Commission is required to
publish notice of the new fee rates
under Section 31 not later than 30 days
after the date on which an Act making
a regular appropriation for the
applicable fiscal year is enacted.6 On
December 27, 2020, the President signed
into law the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021, which
includes total appropriations of
$1,926,162,000 to the SEC for fiscal year
2021.
II. Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Adjustment
to the Fee Rate
The new fee rate is determined by (1)
subtracting the sum of fees estimated to
be collected prior to the effective date of
the new fee rate 7 and estimated
assessments on security futures
transactions to be collected under
Section 31(d) of the Exchange Act for all
of fiscal year 2021 8 from an amount
equal to the regular appropriation to the
Commission for fiscal year 2021, and (2)
dividing by the estimated aggregate
dollar amount of covered sales for the
remainder of the fiscal year following
the effective date of the new fee rate.9
As noted above, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021, includes total
appropriations of $1,926,162,000 to the
Commission for fiscal year 2021.10 The
5 15 U.S.C. 78ee(j)(1) (the Commission must
adjust the rates under Sections 31(b) and (c) to a
‘‘uniform adjusted rate that, when applied to the
baseline estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of
sales for such fiscal year, is reasonably likely to
produce aggregate fee collections under [Section 31]
(including assessments collected under [Section
31(d)]) that are equal to the regular appropriation
to the Commission by Congress for such fiscal
year.’’).
6 15 U.S.C. 78ee(g).
7 The sum of fees to be collected prior to the
effective date of the new fee rate is determined by
applying the current fee rate to the dollar amount
of covered sales prior to the effective date of the
new fee rate. The exchanges and FINRA have
provided data on the dollar amount of covered sales
through November, 2020. To calculate the dollar
amount of covered sales from December, 2020 to the
effective date of the new fee rate, the Commission
is using the same methodology it used in fiscal year
2020. This methodology is described in Appendix
A of this order.
8 OneChicago, LLC, the only reporting entity for
single stock futures, ceased operations in
September, 2020; its last R–31 report was filed in
October, 2020. Accordingly, the forecast for the
assessments for all of fiscal year 2021 for single
stock futures is the reported assessments on single
stock futures from September, 2020 by OneChicago,
LLC.
9 To estimate the aggregate dollar amount of
covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2021
following the effective date of the new fee rate, the
Commission is using the same methodology it used
previously. This methodology is described in
Appendix A of this order.
10 The President signed into law the
‘‘Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021’’ on
December 27, 2020. This legislation included an
E:\FR\FM\22JAN1.SGM
22JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 13 / Friday, January 22, 2021 / Notices
Commission estimates that it will
collect $1,514,646,590 in fees for the
period prior to the effective date of the
new fee rate and $494 in assessments on
round turn transactions in security
futures products during all of fiscal year
2021. Using the methodology described
in Appendix A, the Commission
estimates that the aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales for the
remainder of fiscal year 2021 to be
$81,081,356,203,186.
The uniform adjusted rate is
computed by dividing the residual fees
to be collected of $411,514,917 by the
estimated aggregate dollar amount of
covered sales for the remainder of fiscal
year 2021 of $81,081,356,203,186; this
results in a uniform adjusted rate for
fiscal year 2021 of $5.10 per million.11
III. Effective Date of the Uniform
Adjusted Rate
Under Section 31(j)(4)(A) of the
Exchange Act, the fiscal year 2021
annual adjustments to the fee rates
applicable under Sections 31(b) and (c)
of the Exchange Act shall take effect on
the later of October 1, 2020, or 60 days
after the date on which a regular
appropriation to the Commission for
fiscal year 2021 is enacted.12 The
regular appropriation to the
Commission for fiscal year 2021 was
enacted on December 27, 2020, and
accordingly, the new fee rates
applicable under Sections 31(b) and (c)
of the Exchange Act will take effect on
February 25, 2021.
IV. Conclusion

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 31
of the Exchange Act,
It is hereby ordered that the fee rates

Assistant Secretary.
Appendix A
This appendix provides the methodology
for determining the annual adjustment to the
fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b) and
(c) of the Exchange Act for fiscal year 2021.
Section 31 of the Exchange Act requires the
fee rates to be adjusted so that it is reasonably
likely that the Commission will collect
aggregate fees equal to its regular
appropriation for fiscal year 2021.
To make the adjustment, the Commission
must project the aggregate dollar amount of
covered sales of securities on the securities
exchanges and certain over-the-counter
(‘‘OTC’’) markets over the course of the year.
The fee rate equals the ratio of the
Commission’s regular appropriation for fiscal
year 2021 (less the sum of fees to be collected
during fiscal year 2021 prior to the effective
date of the new fee rate and aggregate
assessments on security futures transactions
during all of fiscal year 2021) to the
estimated aggregate dollar amount of covered
sales for the remainder of the fiscal year
following the effective date of the new fee
rate.
For 2021, the Commission has estimated
the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales
by projecting forward the trend established in
the previous decade. More specifically, the
dollar amount of covered sales was
forecasted for months subsequent to
November 2020, the last month for which the
Commission has data on the dollar volume of
covered sales.13
The following sections describe this
process in detail.
A. Baseline Estimate of the Aggregate Dollar
Amount of Covered Sales for Fiscal Year
2021
First, calculate the average daily dollar
amount of covered sales (‘‘ADS’’) for each
month in the sample (February 2010–
November 2020). The monthly total dollar
amount of covered sales (exchange plus
certain OTC markets) is presented in column
C of Table A.
The model forecasts the monthly moving
average of the average daily dollar amount of
covered sales. Each month’s average daily
dollar amount of covered sales is calculated
by dividing the total covered sales for that
month (column C of Table A) by the number
of trading days for that month (column B of
Table A). These amounts are shown in
column D of Table A. The moving average
will span the same number of months
13 To determine the availability of data, the
Commission compares the date of the appropriation
with the date the transaction data are due from the
exchanges (10 business days after the end of the
month). If the business day following the date of the
appropriation is equal to or subsequent to the date
the data are due from the exchanges, the
Commission uses these data. The appropriation was
signed on December 27, 2020. The first business
day after this date was December 28, 2020. Data for
November 2020 were due from the exchanges on
December 14, 2020. As a result, the Commission
used November 2020 and earlier data to forecast
volume for December 2020 and later months.

required to be forecast for the remainder of
the fiscal year. The trailing moving average
used in the forecast model is presented in
column E of Table A.
To capture the recent trends in the
monthly changes in the moving averages,
calculate the 1-month and 2-month lags of
the trailing moving average shown in column
E in Table A. These amounts are shown in
columns F and G, respectively, of Table A.
Next, model the monthly trailing moving
average of ADS as function of a constant term
and the two lagged trailing moving averages
using the ordinary least squares technique.
Use the estimated model to forecast the
trailing moving average of ADS of the first
month after the last available monthly data.
Estimate the trailing moving average of the
second month using the forecasted value of
the first month and the actual value of the
month before that. Similarly, estimate the
trailing moving average of the third month
using the forecasted values of the two
previous months. Continue in this fashion
until the end of the fiscal year.
The estimate of the trailing moving average
ADS for the last applicable month in the
fiscal year is a prediction of the moving
average for those months that need to be
predicted. This estimate is used as the
predicted value of ADS for each month in the
forecast period; to obtain the forecast total
covered sales for each month, multiply the
predicted ADS by the number of days in each
month.
The following is a more formal
(mathematical) description of the procedure:
1. Begin with the monthly data for total
dollar volume of covered sales (column C).
The sample spans ten years, from February
2010–November 2020.14 Divide each month’s
total dollar volume by the number of trading
days in that month (column B) to obtain the
average daily dollar volume (ADS, column
D).
2. For each month t, calculate the 9-month
trailing moving average of ADS (shown in
column E). For example, the value for
October, 2011 is the average of the 9 months
ending in October, 2011, or February 2011
through October 2011 inclusive.
3. Calculate the 1-month and 2-month lags
of the trailing moving average. For example,
the 1-month lag of the 9-month trailing
moving average for October, 2011 is equal to
the 9-month trailing moving average for
September, 2011. The 2-month lag of the 9month trailing moving average for October,
2011 is equal to the 9-month trailing moving
average for August 2011. These are shown in
columns F and G.
4. Estimate the model using ordinary least
squares:
yt = a + b1 yt-1 + b2 yt-2 + ut
Where yt is the 9-month trailing moving
average of the average daily sales for month
t, and yt-1 and yt-2 are the 1-month and 2month lags of yt, and ut representing the error
term for month t. The model can be estimated
using standard commercially available
14 Because the model uses a two period lag in the
9-month trailing moving average of average daily
covered sales, ten additional months of data are
added to the table so that the model is estimated
with 120 observations.

software. The estimated parameter values are
a = ¥3,106,716,928, b1 = +1.574199, b2 =
¥0.560507. The root-mean squared error
(RMSE) of the regression is 6,022,194,076.
5. The predicted value of the 9-month
trailing moving average of the last month to
be forecast represents the final forecast of
covered sales for the entire prediction period.
This value is shown in column H. This
represents the prediction for August of 2021.
To calculate this value from the model above,
one needs the 1-month and 2-month lag of
the 9-month trailing moving average ADS,
i.e., the 9-month trailing moving average for
June and July. The 9-month trailing moving
average for July is obtained by using the 1month and 2-month lags for July, that is, the
9-month trailing moving averages for June
and May. To arrive at all the necessary
inputs, one begins with the first month to be
forecast, in this case, December 2020, and
iterates predictions forward until the last
month is predicted. One then multiplies the
final predicted 9-month trailing moving
average ADS by the number of days in each
month to arrive at the forecast total dollar
amount of covered sales. This is shown in
column I.
6. For example, for December 2020, using
the a, b1, and b2 parameter estimates shown
above, along with the 1-month and twomonth lags in the 9-month trailing moving
average ADS (representing the 9-month
trailing moving average ADS for November
and October 2020, respectively), one can
estimate the forecast 9-month trailing moving
average ADS for December: –3,106,716,928 +
(1.574199 × 527,000,127,996) + (¥0.560507 ×
518,017,127,996) = 536,143,950,634.
7. With the estimated 9-month trailing
moving average ADS for December 2020
calculated above, one can estimate the 9month trailing moving average ADS for
January, 2021. The estimate obtained from
December becomes the 1-month lag for
January, and the 1-month lag used in the
December forecast becomes the 2-month lag
for the January forecast. Thus, the predicted
9-month trailing moving average ADS for
January 2021 is calculated as:
–3,106,716,928+ (1.574199 ×
536,143,950,634) + (¥0.560507 ×
527,000,127,996) = 545,503,592,273.
8. Using the forecasts for December and
January, one can estimate the value for
February. Repeat this procedure for
subsequent months, until the estimate for
August 2021 is obtained. This value is
618,941,650,406.15 This value is then used to
calculate the final forecast total monthly
covered sales for all 9 months from December
2020 through August 2021.
9. To obtain the estimate of total monthly
covered sales for each month, multiply the
number of trading days in the month, shown
in column B in Table A, by the final forecast
9-month trailing moving average ADS, shown
in column H of Table A. This product is
shown in column I of Table A, and these
figures are used to calculate the new fee rate.
B. Using the Forecasts From A To Calculate
the New Fee Rate
1. Use Table A to estimate fees collected
for the period September 1, 2020 through
February 24, 2021. The projected aggregate
dollar amount of covered sales for this period
is $68,536,044,778,746. Actual and projected
fee collections at the current fee rate of
$22.10 per million are $1,514,646,590.
2. Estimate the amount of assessments on
security futures products collected from
September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021.
The only entity reporting assessable security
futures products ceased operations in
September, 2020.16 Consequently, the
estimated amount of assessments on security
futures products collected from September
2020 through August 2021 is equal to the
amount already reported, which is $493.87.
3. Subtract the amounts $1,514,646,590
and $493.87 from the target off-setting
collection amount set by Congress of
$1,926,162,000, leaving $411,514,917 to be
collected on dollar volume for the period
February 25, 2021 through August 31, 2021.
4. Use Table A to estimate dollar volume
for the period February 25, 2021 through
August 31, 2021. The estimate is
$81,081,356,203,186. Finally, compute the
fee rate required to produce the additional
$411,514,917 in revenue. This rate is
$411,514,917 divided by
$81,081,356,203,186 or 0.00000507533.
5. Round the result to the seventh decimal
point, yielding a rate of 0.0000051 (or $5.10
per million).
This table summarizes the estimates of the
aggregate dollar amount of covered sales, by
time period. The figures in this table can be
used to determine the new fee rate.

Today, Lead Market Makers
(‘‘LMMs’’) 3 are assessed the same fees
and rebates in Options 7, Section 2 as
BX Options Market Makers.4 The
purpose of the proposed rule change is
to amend Options 7, Section 2 to (i)
increase the LMM Rebate to Add
Liquidity, (ii) decrease the LMM Fee to
Add Liquidity, and (iii) restructure the
existing pricing schedules to add
separate pricing for LMMs, which will
apply in each case to LMMs in their
specifically appointed options classes.
As described in detail below, while the
Exchange is proposing to add separate
pricing for LMMs in the existing
schedules, LMMs will continue to be
assessed the same BX Options Market
Makers fees and rebates in their
specifically allocated options classes
under this proposal except with respect
to the proposed LMM Rebate to Add
Liquidity and proposed LMM Fee to
Add Liquidity. The Exchange also
proposes to amend its Opening Cross 5
pricing provisions in Options 7, Section
2(2) to correct an inadvertent omission.
Lastly, the Exchange proposes various
technical, non-substantive changes
throughout Options 7, including to
update cross-cites to obsolete rules.
The proposed changes respond in part
to the current competitive environment
where market participants have a choice
of where to direct order flow by
incentivizing LMMs to increase their
liquidity provision on the Exchange.
LMM Rebate To Add Liquidity
Today, as set forth in Options 7,
Section 2(1), LMMs are provided the
$0.10 per contract BX Options Market
Maker Rebate to Add Liquidity in Penny
Symbols in their specifically allocated
options classes. This rebate is provided
only when the LMM is contra to a Non3 The term ‘‘Lead Market Maker’’ or (‘‘LMM’’)
applies to a registered BX Options Market Maker
that is approved pursuant to Options 2, Section 3
to be the LMM in an options class (options classes).
4 The term ‘‘BX Options Market Maker’’ or (‘‘M’’)
is a Participant that has registered as a Market
Maker on BX Options pursuant to Options 2,
Section 1, and must also remain in good standing
pursuant to Options 2, Section 9. In order to receive
Market Maker pricing in all securities, the
Participant must be registered as a BX Options
Market Maker in at least one security.
5 See Options 3, Section 8.

Customer,6 Firm,7 or BX Options Market
Maker (including LMMs).8
The Exchange now proposes to
increase this rebate to $0.11 per contract
for LMMs only. This rebate will apply
to LMMs in their specifically allocated
options classes, and will have the same
qualifications as the existing BX
Options Market Maker rebate in that the
incentive will only be provided to
LMMs that are contra to Non-Customers,
Firms, BX Options Market Makers, or
LMMs. To effect this change, the
Exchange proposes to set forth the LMM
Rebate to Add Liquidity in Penny
Symbols in a separate pricing column in
Options 7, Section 2(1). The Exchange
will also amend the rebate qualifications
in note 2 of Options 7, Section 2(1) to
include LMMs. As amended, note 2 will
provide that the Rebate to Add Liquidity
will be paid to a BX Options Market
Maker or a Lead Market Maker only
when the BX Options Market Maker or
Lead Market Maker is contra to a NonCustomer, Firm, BX Options Market
Maker, or Lead Market Maker.
LMM Fee To Add Liquidity
Today, as set forth in Options 7,
Section 2(1), LMMs are charged the
$0.39 per contract BX Options Market
Maker Fee to Add Liquidity in Penny
Symbols in their specifically allocated
options classes. Pursuant to note 3 of
Options 7, Section 2(1), this fee is
assessed only when the LMM is contra
to a Customer.9
The Exchange now proposes to
decrease this fee to $0.38 per contract
for LMMs only. This fee will apply to
LMMs in their specifically allocated
options classes, and will have the same
qualifications as the existing BX
Options Market Maker fee in that the fee
only will be assessed to LMMs that are
contra to Customers. To effect this
change, the Exchange proposes to set
forth the LMM Fee to Add Liquidity in
Penny Symbols in a separate pricing
column in Options 7, Section 2(1). The
Exchange will also amend the fee
qualifications in note 3 of Options 7,
Section 2(1) to include LMMs. As
amended, note 3 will provide that the
Fee to Add Liquidity will be assessed to
a BX Options Market Maker or a Lead
6 A Non-Customer includes a Professional,
Broker-Dealer and Non-BX Options Market Maker.
7 The term ‘‘Firm’’ or (‘‘F’’) applies to any
transaction that is identified by a Participant for
clearing in the Firm range at OCC.
8 See Options 7, Section 2(1), note 2.
9 The term ‘‘Customer’’ or (‘‘C’’) applies to any
transaction that is identified by a Participant for
clearing in the Customer range at The Options
Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) which is not for the
account of broker or dealer or for the account of a
‘‘Professional’’ (as that term is defined in Options
1, Section 1(a)(48)).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[Release No. 34-90932/January 15, 2021]
Order Making Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Adjustments to Transaction
Fee Rates
I. Background
Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange
Act'') requires each national securities exchange and national
securities association to pay transaction fees to the Commission.\1\
Specifically, Section 31(b) requires each national securities exchange
to pay to the Commission fees based on the aggregate dollar amount of
sales of certain securities (``covered sales'') transacted on the
exchange.\2\ Section 31(c) requires each national securities
association to pay to the Commission fees based on the aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales transacted by or through any member of the
association other than on an exchange.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee.
\2\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(b).
\3\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 31 of the Exchange Act requires the Commission to annually
adjust the fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b) and (c) to a
uniform adjusted rate.\4\ Specifically, the Commission must adjust the
fee rates to a uniform adjusted rate that is reasonably likely to
produce aggregate fee collections (including assessments on security
futures transactions) equal to the regular appropriation to the
Commission for the applicable fiscal year.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ In some circumstances, the SEC also must make a mid-year
adjustment to the fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b) and (c).
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(j)(1) (the Commission must adjust the rates
under Sections 31(b) and (c) to a ``uniform adjusted rate that, when
applied to the baseline estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of
sales for such fiscal year, is reasonably likely to produce
aggregate fee collections under [Section 31] (including assessments
collected under [Section 31(d)]) that are equal to the regular
appropriation to the Commission by Congress for such fiscal
year.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission is required to publish notice of the new fee rates
under Section 31 not later than 30 days after the date on which an Act
making a regular appropriation for the applicable fiscal year is
enacted.\6\ On December 27, 2020, the President signed into law the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which includes total
appropriations of $1,926,162,000 to the SEC for fiscal year 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Fiscal Year 2021 Annual Adjustment to the Fee Rate
The new fee rate is determined by (1) subtracting the sum of fees
estimated to be collected prior to the effective date of the new fee
rate \7\ and estimated assessments on security futures transactions to
be collected under Section 31(d) of the Exchange Act for all of fiscal
year 2021 \8\ from an amount equal to the regular appropriation to the
Commission for fiscal year 2021, and (2) dividing by the estimated
aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for the remainder of the
fiscal year following the effective date of the new fee rate.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The sum of fees to be collected prior to the effective date
of the new fee rate is determined by applying the current fee rate
to the dollar amount of covered sales prior to the effective date of
the new fee rate. The exchanges and FINRA have provided data on the
dollar amount of covered sales through November, 2020. To calculate
the dollar amount of covered sales from December, 2020 to the
effective date of the new fee rate, the Commission is using the same
methodology it used in fiscal year 2020. This methodology is
described in Appendix A of this order.
\8\ OneChicago, LLC, the only reporting entity for single stock
futures, ceased operations in September, 2020; its last R-31 report
was filed in October, 2020. Accordingly, the forecast for the
assessments for all of fiscal year 2021 for single stock futures is
the reported assessments on single stock futures from September,
2020 by OneChicago, LLC.
\9\ To estimate the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for
the remainder of fiscal year 2021 following the effective date of
the new fee rate, the Commission is using the same methodology it
used previously. This methodology is described in Appendix A of this
order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted above, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, includes
total appropriations of $1,926,162,000 to the Commission for fiscal
year 2021.\10\ The
[[Page 6695]]
Commission estimates that it will collect $1,514,646,590 in fees for
the period prior to the effective date of the new fee rate and $494 in
assessments on round turn transactions in security futures products
during all of fiscal year 2021. Using the methodology described in
Appendix A, the Commission estimates that the aggregate dollar amount
of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2021 to be
$81,081,356,203,186.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ The President signed into law the ``Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021'' on December 27, 2020. This legislation
included an appropriation of $1,894,835,000 to the SEC for fiscal
year 2021 operations. The Act further directed that ``[i]n addition
to the foregoing appropriation, for move, replication, and related
costs associated with a replacement lease for the Commission's
District of Columbia headquarters, not to exceed $18,650,000, to
remain available until expended; and for move, replication, and
related costs associated with a replacement lease for the
Commission's San Francisco Regional Office facilities, not to exceed
$12,677,000, to remain available until expended.'' The sum of these
three amounts is $1,926,162,000. Finally, the Act further directed
that ``for purposes of calculating the fee rate under section 31(j)
. . . all amounts appropriated under this heading shall be deemed to
be the regular appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year
2021.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The uniform adjusted rate is computed by dividing the residual fees
to be collected of $411,514,917 by the estimated aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2021 of
$81,081,356,203,186; this results in a uniform adjusted rate for fiscal
year 2021 of $5.10 per million.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Appendix A shows the process of calculating the fiscal year
2021 annual adjustment and includes the data used by the Commission
in making this adjustment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Effective Date of the Uniform Adjusted Rate
Under Section 31(j)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act, the fiscal year 2021
annual adjustments to the fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b) and
(c) of the Exchange Act shall take effect on the later of October 1,
2020, or 60 days after the date on which a regular appropriation to the
Commission for fiscal year 2021 is enacted.\12\ The regular
appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year 2021 was enacted on
December 27, 2020, and accordingly, the new fee rates applicable under
Sections 31(b) and (c) of the Exchange Act will take effect on February
25, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(j)(4)(A).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Conclusion
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act,
It is hereby ordered that the fee rates applicable under Sections
31(b) and (c) of the Exchange Act shall be $5.10 per $1,000,000
effective on February 25, 2021.
By the Commission.
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.
Appendix A
This appendix provides the methodology for determining the
annual adjustment to the fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b)
and (c) of the Exchange Act for fiscal year 2021. Section 31 of the
Exchange Act requires the fee rates to be adjusted so that it is
reasonably likely that the Commission will collect aggregate fees
equal to its regular appropriation for fiscal year 2021.
To make the adjustment, the Commission must project the
aggregate dollar amount of covered sales of securities on the
securities exchanges and certain over-the-counter (``OTC'') markets
over the course of the year. The fee rate equals the ratio of the
Commission's regular appropriation for fiscal year 2021 (less the
sum of fees to be collected during fiscal year 2021 prior to the
effective date of the new fee rate and aggregate assessments on
security futures transactions during all of fiscal year 2021) to the
estimated aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for the remainder
of the fiscal year following the effective date of the new fee rate.
For 2021, the Commission has estimated the aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales by projecting forward the trend established
in the previous decade. More specifically, the dollar amount of
covered sales was forecasted for months subsequent to November 2020,
the last month for which the Commission has data on the dollar
volume of covered sales.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ To determine the availability of data, the Commission
compares the date of the appropriation with the date the transaction
data are due from the exchanges (10 business days after the end of
the month). If the business day following the date of the
appropriation is equal to or subsequent to the date the data are due
from the exchanges, the Commission uses these data. The
appropriation was signed on December 27, 2020. The first business
day after this date was December 28, 2020. Data for November 2020
were due from the exchanges on December 14, 2020. As a result, the
Commission used November 2020 and earlier data to forecast volume
for December 2020 and later months.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following sections describe this process in detail.
A. Baseline Estimate of the Aggregate Dollar Amount of Covered
Sales for Fiscal Year 2021
First, calculate the average daily dollar amount of covered
sales (``ADS'') for each month in the sample (February 2010-November
2020). The monthly total dollar amount of covered sales (exchange
plus certain OTC markets) is presented in column C of Table A.
The model forecasts the monthly moving average of the average
daily dollar amount of covered sales. Each month's average daily
dollar amount of covered sales is calculated by dividing the total
covered sales for that month (column C of Table A) by the number of
trading days for that month (column B of Table A). These amounts are
shown in column D of Table A. The moving average will span the same
number of months required to be forecast for the remainder of the
fiscal year. The trailing moving average used in the forecast model
is presented in column E of Table A.
To capture the recent trends in the monthly changes in the
moving averages, calculate the 1-month and 2-month lags of the
trailing moving average shown in column E in Table A. These amounts
are shown in columns F and G, respectively, of Table A.
Next, model the monthly trailing moving average of ADS as
function of a constant term and the two lagged trailing moving
averages using the ordinary least squares technique.
Use the estimated model to forecast the trailing moving average
of ADS of the first month after the last available monthly data.
Estimate the trailing moving average of the second month using the
forecasted value of the first month and the actual value of the
month before that. Similarly, estimate the trailing moving average
of the third month using the forecasted values of the two previous
months. Continue in this fashion until the end of the fiscal year.
The estimate of the trailing moving average ADS for the last
applicable month in the fiscal year is a prediction of the moving
average for those months that need to be predicted. This estimate is
used as the predicted value of ADS for each month in the forecast
period; to obtain the forecast total covered sales for each month,
multiply the predicted ADS by the number of days in each month.
The following is a more formal (mathematical) description of the
procedure:
1. Begin with the monthly data for total dollar volume of
covered sales (column C). The sample spans ten years, from February
2010-November 2020.\14\ Divide each month's total dollar volume by
the number of trading days in that month (column B) to obtain the
average daily dollar volume (ADS, column D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ Because the model uses a two period lag in the 9-month
trailing moving average of average daily covered sales, ten
additional months of data are added to the table so that the model
is estimated with 120 observations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. For each month t, calculate the 9-month trailing moving
average of ADS (shown in column E). For example, the value for
October, 2011 is the average of the 9 months ending in October,
2011, or February 2011 through October 2011 inclusive.
3. Calculate the 1-month and 2-month lags of the trailing moving
average. For example, the 1-month lag of the 9-month trailing moving
average for October, 2011 is equal to the 9-month trailing moving
average for September, 2011. The 2-month lag of the 9-month trailing
moving average for October, 2011 is equal to the 9-month trailing
moving average for August 2011. These are shown in columns F and G.
4. Estimate the model using ordinary least squares:
yt = [alpha] + [beta]1 yt-1 +
[beta]2 yt-2 + ut
Where yt is the 9-month trailing moving average of
the average daily sales for month t, and yt-1 and
yt-2 are the 1-month and 2-month lags of yt,
and ut representing the error term for month t. The model
can be estimated using standard commercially available
[[Page 6696]]
software. The estimated parameter values are a = -3,106,716,928,
b1 = +1.574199, b2 = -0.560507. The root-mean
squared error (RMSE) of the regression is 6,022,194,076.
5. The predicted value of the 9-month trailing moving average of
the last month to be forecast represents the final forecast of
covered sales for the entire prediction period. This value is shown
in column H. This represents the prediction for August of 2021. To
calculate this value from the model above, one needs the 1-month and
2-month lag of the 9-month trailing moving average ADS, i.e., the 9-
month trailing moving average for June and July. The 9-month
trailing moving average for July is obtained by using the 1-month
and 2-month lags for July, that is, the 9-month trailing moving
averages for June and May. To arrive at all the necessary inputs,
one begins with the first month to be forecast, in this case,
December 2020, and iterates predictions forward until the last month
is predicted. One then multiplies the final predicted 9-month
trailing moving average ADS by the number of days in each month to
arrive at the forecast total dollar amount of covered sales. This is
shown in column I.
6. For example, for December 2020, using the a, b1,
and b2 parameter estimates shown above, along with the 1-
month and two-month lags in the 9-month trailing moving average ADS
(representing the 9-month trailing moving average ADS for November
and October 2020, respectively), one can estimate the forecast 9-
month trailing moving average ADS for December: -3,106,716,928 +
(1.574199 x 527,000,127,996) + (-0.560507 x 518,017,127,996) =
536,143,950,634.
7. With the estimated 9-month trailing moving average ADS for
December 2020 calculated above, one can estimate the 9-month
trailing moving average ADS for January, 2021. The estimate obtained
from December becomes the 1-month lag for January, and the 1-month
lag used in the December forecast becomes the 2-month lag for the
January forecast. Thus, the predicted 9-month trailing moving
average ADS for January 2021 is calculated as: -3,106,716,928+
(1.574199 x 536,143,950,634) + (-0.560507 x 527,000,127,996) =
545,503,592,273.
8. Using the forecasts for December and January, one can
estimate the value for February. Repeat this procedure for
subsequent months, until the estimate for August 2021 is obtained.
This value is 618,941,650,406.\15\ This value is then used to
calculate the final forecast total monthly covered sales for all 9
months from December 2020 through August 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ One obtains insignificantly different values using the
rounded parameter estimates shown above. The predicted ADS values
displayed above represents the full precision estimate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. To obtain the estimate of total monthly covered sales for
each month, multiply the number of trading days in the month, shown
in column B in Table A, by the final forecast 9-month trailing
moving average ADS, shown in column H of Table A. This product is
shown in column I of Table A, and these figures are used to
calculate the new fee rate.
B. Using the Forecasts From A To Calculate the New Fee Rate
1. Use Table A to estimate fees collected for the period
September 1, 2020 through February 24, 2021. The projected aggregate
dollar amount of covered sales for this period is
$68,536,044,778,746. Actual and projected fee collections at the
current fee rate of $22.10 per million are $1,514,646,590.
2. Estimate the amount of assessments on security futures
products collected from September 1, 2020 through August 31, 2021.
The only entity reporting assessable security futures products
ceased operations in September, 2020.\16\ Consequently, the
estimated amount of assessments on security futures products
collected from September 2020 through August 2021 is equal to the
amount already reported, which is $493.87.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ OneChicago, LLC, the only reporting entity for single stock
futures, ceased operations in September, 2020; its last R-31 report
was filed in October, 2020. Accordingly, the forecast for the
assessments for all of fiscal year 2021 for single stock futures is
the reported assessments on single stock futures from September,
2020 by OneChicago, LLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Subtract the amounts $1,514,646,590 and $493.87 from the
target off-setting collection amount set by Congress of
$1,926,162,000, leaving $411,514,917 to be collected on dollar
volume for the period February 25, 2021 through August 31, 2021.
4. Use Table A to estimate dollar volume for the period February
25, 2021 through August 31, 2021. The estimate is
$81,081,356,203,186. Finally, compute the fee rate required to
produce the additional $411,514,917 in revenue. This rate is
$411,514,917 divided by $81,081,356,203,186 or 0.00000507533.
5. Round the result to the seventh decimal point, yielding a
rate of 0.0000051 (or $5.10 per million).
This table summarizes the estimates of the aggregate dollar
amount of covered sales, by time period. The figures in this table
can be used to determine the new fee rate.
