BILLING CODE 7710–FW–P
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release Nos. 33–11224; 34–98223/August
25, 2023]
Order Making Fiscal Year 2024 Annual
Adjustments to Registration Fee Rates
I. 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 specified
proxy solicitations and statements in
corporate control transactions.3 These
provisions require the Commission to
make annual adjustments to the
applicable fee rates.
II. Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Adjustment
to Fee Rates
Section 6(b)(2) of the Securities Act
requires the Commission to make an
annual adjustment to the fee rate
applicable under Section 6(b).4 The
annual adjustment to the fee rate under
1 15
U.S.C. 77f(b).
U.S.C. 78m(e).
3 15 U.S.C. 78n(g).
4 15 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 prices 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’’ required
by Section 6(b)(6)(A) for that fiscal year.

Sfmt 4703

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.5
Section 6(b)(2) sets forth the method
for determining the annual adjustment
to the fee rate under Section 6(b) for
fiscal year 2024. 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 2024], is reasonably likely to
produce aggregate fee collections under
[Section 6(b)] that are equal to the target
fee collection amount for [fiscal year
2024].’’ That is, the adjusted rate is
determined by dividing the ‘‘target fee
collection amount’’ for fiscal year 2024
by the ‘‘baseline estimate of the
aggregate maximum offering prices’’ for
fiscal year 2024.
III. Target Fee Collection Amount for
FY 2024
The statutory ‘‘target fee collection
amount’’ for fiscal year 2021 and ‘‘each
fiscal year thereafter’’ is ‘‘an amount
that is equal to the target fee collection
amount for the prior fiscal year,
adjusted by the rate of inflation.’’ 6
Consistent with the fiscal year 2021
calculation, the Commission has
determined that it will use an approach
similar to one that it uses to annually
adjust civil monetary penalties by the
rate of inflation.7 Under this approach,
the Commission will use the year-overyear change, rounded to five decimal
places, in the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (‘‘CPI–U’’), not
seasonally adjusted, in calculating the
target fee collection amount, which is
then rounded to the nearest whole
dollar. The calculation for the fiscal year
2024 target fee collection amount is
described in more detail below.
The most recent CPI–U index value,
not seasonally adjusted, available for
use by the Commission at the time this
fee rate update was prepared was for
June 2023. This value is 305.109.8 The
CPI–U index value, not seasonally
5 15
U.S.C. 78m(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 78n(g)(4).
U.S.C. 77f(b)(6)(A).
7 The Commission annually adjusts for inflation
the civil monetary penalties that can be imposed
under the statutes administered by Commission, as
required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015,
pursuant to guidance from the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’). See OMB Dec.
16, 2019, Memorandum for the Heads of Executive
Departments and Agencies,’’ M–20–05, on
‘‘Implementation of Penalty Inflation Adjustments
for 2020, Pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties
Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015.’’

adjusted, for June 2022 is 296.311.9
Dividing the June 2023 value by the
June 2022 value and rounding to five
decimal places yields a multiplier value
of 1.02969. Multiplying the fiscal year
2023 target fee collection amount of
$815,557,629 10 by the multiplier value
of 1.02969 and rounding to the nearest
whole dollar yields a fiscal year 2024
target fee collection amount of
$839,771,535.
Section 6(b)(6)(B) defines the
‘‘baseline estimate of the aggregate
maximum offering prices’’ for fiscal year
2024 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 2024] as determined
by the Commission, after consultation
with the Congressional Budget Office
and the Office of Management and
Budget . . . .’’
To make the baseline estimate of the
aggregate maximum offering prices for
fiscal year 2024, the Commission is
using the methodology it has used in
prior fiscal years and that was
developed in consultation with the
Congressional Budget Office and
OMB.11 Using this methodology, the
Commission determines the ‘‘baseline
estimate of the aggregate maximum
offering price’’ for fiscal year 2024 to be
$5,690,702,748,940. Based on this
estimate and the fiscal year 2024 target
fee collection amount, the Commission
calculates the fee rate for fiscal 2024 to
be $147.60 per million. This adjusted
fee rate applies to Section 6(b) of the
Securities Act, as well as to Sections
13(e) and 14(g) of the Exchange Act.

V. Conclusion
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 6(b)

J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Deputy Secretary.
Appendix A
Congress has established a target amount of
monies to be collected from fees charged to
issuers based on the value of their
registrations. This appendix provides the
formula for determining such fees, which the
Commission adjusts annually. Congress has
mandated that the Commission determine
these fees based on the ‘‘aggregate maximum
offering prices,’’ which measures the
aggregate dollar amount of securities
registered with the Commission over the
course of the year (hereafter, ‘‘registrations’’).
In order to maximize the likelihood that the
amount of monies targeted by Congress will
be collected, the fee rate must be set to reflect
projected aggregate maximum offering prices.
As a percentage, the fee rate equals the ratio
of the target amounts of monies to the
projected aggregate maximum offering prices.
For 2024, the Commission has estimated
the aggregate maximum offering prices by
projecting forward the trend established in
the previous decade. More specifically, an
auto-regressive integrated moving average
(‘‘ARIMA’’) model was used to forecast the
value of the aggregate maximum offering
prices for months subsequent to July 2023,
the last month for which the Commission has
data on the aggregate maximum offering
prices.
The following sections describe this
process in detail.
A. Baseline Estimate of the Aggregate
Maximum Offering Prices for Fiscal Year
2024
First, calculate the aggregate maximum
offering prices (AMOP) for each month in the
sample (July 2013 through July 2023). Next,
calculate the percentage change in the AMOP
from month to month.
Model the monthly percentage change in
AMOP as a first order moving average
process. The moving average approach
allows one to model the effect that an
12 15 U.S.C. 77f(b)(4), 15 U.S.C. 78m(e)(6), and 15
U.S.C. 78n(g)(6).
13 15 U.S.C. 77f(b), 78m(e), and 78n(g).

exceptionally high (or low) observation of
AMOP tends to be followed by a more
‘‘typical’’ value of AMOP.
Use the [estimated moving average]
[ARIMA] model to forecast the monthly
percent change in AMOP. These percent
changes can then be applied to obtain
forecasts of the total dollar value of
registrations. The following is a more formal
(mathematical) description of the procedure:
1. Begin with the monthly data for AMOP.
The sample spans ten years, from July 2013
to July 2023.
2. Divide each month’s AMOP (column C)
by the number of trading days in that month
(column B) to obtain the average daily AMOP
(AAMOP, column D).
3. For each month t, the natural logarithm
of AAMOP is reported in column E.
4. Calculate the change in log(AAMOP)
from the previous month as Dt = log
(AAMOPt)¥log(AAMOPt¥1). This
approximates the percentage change.
5. Estimate the first order moving average
model Dt = a + bet¥1 + et, where et denotes
the forecast error for month t. The forecast
error is simply the difference between the
one-month ahead forecast and the actual
realization of Dt. The forecast error is
expressed as et = Dt¥a¥bet¥1. The model
can be estimated using standard
commercially available software. Using least
squares, the estimated parameter values are
a = 0.0034213782 and b = 0.8643834013.
6. For the month of August 2023 forecast
Dt = 8/2023 = a + bet = 7/2023. For all subsequent
months, forecast Dt = a.
7. Calculate forecasts of log(AAMOP). For
example, the forecast of log(AAMOP) for
October 2023 is given by FLAAMOP t = 10/2023
= log(AAMOPt = 7/2023) + D t = 8/2023 +D t = 9/2023
+ D t = 10/2023.
8. Under the assumption that et is normally
distributed, the n-step ahead forecast of
AAMOP is given by exp(FLAAMOPt + sn2/2),
where sn denotes the standard error of the nstep ahead forecast.
9. For October 2023, this gives a forecast
AAMOP of $22,085 million (Column I), and
a forecast AMOP of $485,871 million
(Column J).
10. Iterate this process through September
2024 to obtain a baseline estimate of the
aggregate maximum offering prices for fiscal
year 2024 of $5,690,702,748,940.
B. Using the Forecasts From A To Calculate
the New Fee Rate
1. Using the data from Table A, estimate
the aggregate maximum offering prices
between 10/01/23 and 9/30/24 to be
$5,690,702,748,940.
2. The rate necessary to collect the target
$839,771,535 in fee revenues required by
Section 6(b) of the Securities Act is then
calculated as: $839,771,535 ÷
$5,690,702,748,940 = 0.0001475690.
3. Round the result to the seventh decimal
point, yielding a rate of 0.0001476 (or
$147.60 per million).

fees on specified proxy solicitations and statements in corporate
control transactions.\3\ These provisions require the Commission to
make annual adjustments to the applicable fee rates.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Adjustment to Fee Rates
Section 6(b)(2) of the Securities Act requires the Commission to
make an annual adjustment to the fee rate applicable under Section
6(b).\4\ 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 15 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 prices 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'' required by Section 6(b)(6)(A) for
that fiscal year.
\5\ 15 U.S.C. 78m(e)(4) and 15 U.S.C. 78n(g)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 6(b)(2) sets forth the method for determining the annual
adjustment to the fee rate under Section 6(b) for fiscal year 2024.
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 2024], is reasonably
likely to produce aggregate fee collections under [Section 6(b)] that
are equal to the target fee collection amount for [fiscal year 2024].''
That is, the adjusted rate is determined by dividing the ``target fee
collection amount'' for fiscal year 2024 by the ``baseline estimate of
the aggregate maximum offering prices'' for fiscal year 2024.
III. Target Fee Collection Amount for FY 2024
The statutory ``target fee collection amount'' for fiscal year 2021
and ``each fiscal year thereafter'' is ``an amount that is equal to the
target fee collection amount for the prior fiscal year, adjusted by the
rate of inflation.'' \6\ Consistent with the fiscal year 2021
calculation, the Commission has determined that it will use an approach
similar to one that it uses to annually adjust civil monetary penalties
by the rate of inflation.\7\ Under this approach, the Commission will
use the year-over-year change, rounded to five decimal places, in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (``CPI-U''), not
seasonally adjusted, in calculating the target fee collection amount,
which is then rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The calculation for
the fiscal year 2024 target fee collection amount is described in more
detail below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 77f(b)(6)(A).
\7\ The Commission annually adjusts for inflation the civil
monetary penalties that can be imposed under the statutes
administered by Commission, as required by the Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015,
pursuant to guidance from the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB''). See OMB Dec. 16, 2019, Memorandum for the Heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies,'' M-20-05, on ``Implementation
of Penalty Inflation Adjustments for 2020, Pursuant to the Federal
Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.''
\8\ This value was announced on July 12, 2023. See https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/cpi_07122023.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most recent CPI-U index value, not seasonally adjusted,
available for use by the Commission at the time this fee rate update
was prepared was for June 2023. This value is 305.109.\8\ The CPI-U
index value, not seasonally
[[Page 59954]]
adjusted, for June 2022 is 296.311.\9\ Dividing the June 2023 value by
the June 2022 value and rounding to five decimal places yields a
multiplier value of 1.02969. Multiplying the fiscal year 2023 target
fee collection amount of $815,557,629 \10\ by the multiplier value of
1.02969 and rounding to the nearest whole dollar yields a fiscal year
2024 target fee collection amount of $839,771,535.

(CPI-U): U.S. city average, by expenditure category, June 2023'' in

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 6(b)(6)(B) defines the ``baseline estimate of the aggregate
maximum offering prices'' for fiscal year 2024 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 2024] as determined by the
Commission, after consultation with the Congressional Budget Office and
the Office of Management and Budget . . . .''
To make the baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering
prices for fiscal year 2024, the Commission is using the methodology it
has used in prior fiscal years and that was developed in consultation
with the Congressional Budget Office and OMB.\11\ Using this
methodology, the Commission determines the ``baseline estimate of the
aggregate maximum offering price'' for fiscal year 2024 to be
$5,690,702,748,940. Based on this estimate and the fiscal year 2024
target fee collection amount, the Commission calculates the fee rate
for fiscal 2024 to be $147.60 per million. This adjusted fee rate
applies to Section 6(b) of the Securities Act, as well as to Sections
13(e) and 14(g) of the Exchange Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Appendix A explains how we determined the ``baseline
estimate of the aggregate maximum offering prices'' for fiscal year
2024 using our methodology, and then shows the arithmetical process
of calculating the fiscal year 2024 annual adjustment based on that
estimate. The appendix includes the data used by the Commission in
making its ``baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering
prices'' for fiscal year 2024.

IV. Effective Dates of the Annual Adjustments
The fiscal year 2024 annual adjustments to the fee rates applicable
under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act and Sections 13(e) and 14(g)
of the Exchange Act will be effective on October 1, 2023.\12\

Appendix A
Congress has established a target amount of monies to be
collected from fees charged to issuers based on the value of their
registrations. This appendix provides the formula for determining
such fees, which the Commission adjusts annually. Congress has
mandated that the Commission determine these fees based on the
``aggregate maximum offering prices,'' which measures the aggregate
dollar amount of securities registered with the Commission over the
course of the year (hereafter, ``registrations''). In order to
maximize the likelihood that the amount of monies targeted by
Congress will be collected, the fee rate must be set to reflect
projected aggregate maximum offering prices. As a percentage, the
fee rate equals the ratio of the target amounts of monies to the
projected aggregate maximum offering prices.
For 2024, the Commission has estimated the aggregate maximum
offering prices by projecting forward the trend established in the
previous decade. More specifically, an auto-regressive integrated
moving average (``ARIMA'') model was used to forecast the value of
the aggregate maximum offering prices for months subsequent to July
2023, the last month for which the Commission has data on the
aggregate maximum offering prices.
The following sections describe this process in detail.
A. Baseline Estimate of the Aggregate Maximum Offering Prices for
Fiscal Year 2024
First, calculate the aggregate maximum offering prices (AMOP)
for each month in the sample (July 2013 through July 2023). Next,
calculate the percentage change in the AMOP from month to month.
Model the monthly percentage change in AMOP as a first order
moving average process. The moving average approach allows one to
model the effect that an exceptionally high (or low) observation of
AMOP tends to be followed by a more ``typical'' value of AMOP.
Use the [estimated moving average] [ARIMA] model to forecast the
monthly percent change in AMOP. These percent changes can then be
applied to obtain forecasts of the total dollar value of
registrations. The following is a more formal (mathematical)
description of the procedure:
1. Begin with the monthly data for AMOP. The sample spans ten
years, from July 2013 to July 2023.
2. Divide each month's AMOP (column C) by the number of trading
days in that month (column B) to obtain the average daily AMOP
(AAMOP, column D).
3. For each month t, the natural logarithm of AAMOP is reported
in column E.
4. Calculate the change in log(AAMOP) from the previous month as
[Delta]t = log (AAMOPt)-
log(AAMOPt-1). This approximates the percentage change.
5. Estimate the first order moving average model
[Delta]t = [alpha] + [beta]et-1 +
et, where et denotes the forecast error for
month t. The forecast error is simply the difference between the
one-month ahead forecast and the actual realization of
[Delta]t. The forecast error is expressed as
et = [Delta]t-[alpha]-[beta]et-1.
The model can be estimated using standard commercially available
software. Using least squares, the estimated parameter values are
[alpha] = 0.0034213782 and [beta] = 0.8643834013.
6. For the month of August 2023 forecast
[Delta]t = 8/2023 = [alpha] +
[beta]et = 7/2023. For all subsequent months, forecast
[Delta]t = [alpha].
7. Calculate forecasts of log(AAMOP). For example, the forecast
of log(AAMOP) for October 2023 is given by FLAAMOP
t = 10/2023 = log(AAMOPt = 7/2023) + [Delta]
t = 8/2023 +[Delta] t = 9/2023 + [Delta]
t = 10/2023.
8. Under the assumption that et is normally
distributed, the n-step ahead forecast of AAMOP is given by
exp(FLAAMOPt + [sigma]n\2\/2), where
[sigma]n denotes the standard error of the n-step ahead
forecast.
9. For October 2023, this gives a forecast AAMOP of $22,085
million (Column I), and a forecast AMOP of $485,871 million (Column
J).
10. Iterate this process through September 2024 to obtain a
baseline estimate of the aggregate maximum offering prices for
fiscal year 2024 of $5,690,702,748,940.
B. Using the Forecasts From A To Calculate the New Fee Rate
1. Using the data from Table A, estimate the aggregate maximum
offering prices between 10/01/23 and 9/30/24 to be
$5,690,702,748,940.
2. The rate necessary to collect the target $839,771,535 in fee
revenues required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act is then
calculated as: $839,771,535 / $5,690,702,748,940 = 0.0001475690.
3. Round the result to the seventh decimal point, yielding a
rate of 0.0001476 (or $147.60 per million).
