1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its
Fee Schedule regarding Regulatory Fees
to reflect updates to the FINRA
Disclosure Processing Fee, Annual
System Processing Fee, Fingerprint
Processing Fees, and Continuing
Education Fees.3 The applicable fees are
collected and retained by FINRA via
Web CRD 4 for the registration of
associated persons of Exchange Trading
Permit Holder (‘‘TPH’’) organizations
that are not FINRA members (‘‘NonFINRA members’’). The Exchange is
merely listing these fees on its Fee
Schedule and does not collect or retain
the fees.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
amend: (1) the $110 fee for the
additional processing of each initial or
amended Form U–4, Form U–5, Form
BD and amendments that include the
initial reporting, amendment,
certification, or one or more disclosure
events or proceedings to $155; (2) the
$45 FINRA Annual System Processing
Fee assessed only during Renewals to
$70; 5 and (3) the current $55 per
continuing education exam fee to $18
per exam. These amendments are being
made in accordance with a FINRA rule
change and a FINRA amendment to its
By-Laws to adjust these fees.6
The Exchange also proposes to amend
the following Fingerprint Fees: (1) the
$29.50 Initial Submission (Electronic)
fee to $31.25; 7 (2) the $15 Second
Submission (Electronic) Fingerprint
Processing Fee to $20; (3) the $29.50
Third Submission (Electronic) fee to
$31.25; 8 (4) the $44.50 Initial

to Adjust FINRA Fees to Provide Sustainable
Funding for FINRA’s Regulatory Mission); and

to Amend Section 4 of Schedule A to the FINRA
By-Laws Relating to the Continuing Education
Fees).

and registration system for the U.S. securities
industry. FINRA uses Web CRD to maintain the
qualification, employment, and disciplinary
histories of registered associated persons of brokerdealers.

January 2, 2024.

Submission (Paper) fee to $41.25; 9 and
(5) the $44.50 Third Submission (Paper)
fee to $41.25.10 Specifically, today, the
FBI fingerprint charge is $11.25 11 and
the FINRA electronic Fingerprint Fee
will increase from $15 to $20 in 2023.12
While FINRA did not amend the paper
Fingerprint Fee, previously the FBI fee
was reduced from $14.50 to $11.25.13
The paper Fingerprint Fees are not
currently reflecting the amount assessed
by FINRA. The amendment to the paper
Fingerprint Fees will conform these fees
with those of FINRA.
The FINRA Web CRD Fees are userbased, and there is no distinction in the
cost incurred by FINRA if the user is a
FINRA-member itself, associated with a
FINRA-member organization, or a NonFINRA member. Accordingly, the
proposed fees mirror those currently
assessed by FINRA.14
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’) and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to the Exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.15 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) 16 requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged
in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to,
and facilitating transactions in
securities, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
Additionally, the Exchange believes the

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2023 / Notices
proposed rule change is consistent with
the Section 6(b)(5) 17 requirement that
the rules of an exchange not be designed
to permit unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
All similarly situated FINRA-Member
organizations are subject to the same fee
structure, and all must use the CRD
system for registration and disclosure.
The Exchange believes the proposed
changes to the FINRA Disclosure
Processing Fee, Annual System
Processing Fee, Fingerprint Fees, and
continuing education fee are reasonable
because they are identical to the fee
changes adopted by FINRA for use of
the Web CRD system for disclosure,
registration, and continuing education
of associated persons of FINRA
Members and their associated persons.18
The costs are borne by FINRA when a
non-FINRA member uses Web CRD for
these purposes. Thus, the Exchange’s
Fee Schedule will reflect the current
rates that will be assessed by FINRA as
of January 2, 2023 and January 2, 2024,
as applicable, for use of Web CRD by
any Trading Permit Holders that are not
also FINRA members for the additional
processing of each initial or amended
Form U4, Form U5 or Form BD,
(Electronic) Fingerprint Processing,
registration, and continuing education.
The Exchange believes the proposed fee
changes are equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory, because the Exchange
will not be collecting or retaining these
fees, and therefore, the Exchange will
not be in a position to apply them in an
inequitable or unfairly discriminatory
manner.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange believes that its proposal will
not impose an undue burden on
competition because the Exchange will
not be collecting or retaining these fees,
therefore, the Exchange will not be in a
position to apply them in an inequitable
or unfairly discriminatory manner. The
proposal will reflect the fees that will be
assessed by FINRA to all market
participants (FINRA and non-FINRA
members) for these uses of Web CRD.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange neither solicited nor
received comments on the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act 19 and paragraph (f) of Rule
19b–4 20 thereunder. At any time within
60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act. If the
Commission takes such action, the
Commission will institute proceedings
to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be approved or
disapproved.

including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule regarding
Regulatory Fees to reflect updates to the FINRA Disclosure Processing
Fee, Annual System Processing Fee, Fingerprint Processing Fees, and
Continuing Education Fees.\3\ The applicable fees are collected and
retained by FINRA via Web CRD \4\ for the registration of associated
persons of Exchange Trading Permit Holder (``TPH'') organizations that
are not FINRA members (``Non-FINRA members''). The Exchange is merely
listing these fees on its Fee Schedule and does not collect or retain
the fees.

Education Fees).

registration system for the U.S. securities industry. FINRA uses Web
CRD to maintain the qualification, employment, and disciplinary
histories of registered associated persons of broker-dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to amend: (1) the $110 fee for
the additional processing of each initial or amended Form U-4, Form U-
5, Form BD and amendments that include the initial reporting,
amendment, certification, or one or more disclosure events or
proceedings to $155; (2) the $45 FINRA Annual System Processing Fee
assessed only during Renewals to $70; \5\ and (3) the current $55 per
continuing education exam fee to $18 per exam. These amendments are
being made in accordance with a FINRA rule change and a FINRA amendment
to its By-Laws to adjust these fees.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ This fee change will not be effective until January 2, 2024.
\6\ Supra note 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Exchange also proposes to amend the following Fingerprint Fees:
(1) the $29.50 Initial Submission (Electronic) fee to $31.25; \7\ (2)
the $15 Second Submission (Electronic) Fingerprint Processing Fee to
$20; (3) the $29.50 Third Submission (Electronic) fee to $31.25; \8\
(4) the $44.50 Initial Submission (Paper) fee to $41.25; \9\ and (5)
the $44.50 Third Submission (Paper) fee to $41.25.\10\ Specifically,
today, the FBI fingerprint charge is $11.25 \11\ and the FINRA
electronic Fingerprint Fee will increase from $15 to $20 in 2023.\12\
While FINRA did not amend the paper Fingerprint Fee, previously the FBI
fee was reduced from $14.50 to $11.25.\13\ The paper Fingerprint Fees
are not currently reflecting the amount assessed by FINRA. The
amendment to the paper Fingerprint Fees will conform these fees with
those of FINRA.
