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 93 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(57).

II. Fiscal Year 2024 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 2024 8 from an amount equal to the regular appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year 2024, 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 Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, includes total appropriations of $2,188,658,000 to the Commission for fiscal year 2024.10 The Commission 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 Feb. 2024. To calculate the dollar amount of covered sales from Mar. 2024 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 Currently, security futures do not trade on any market, therefore the Commission has not collected any assessments for transactions in security futures. Accordingly, the forecast for the assessments for all of fiscal year 2024 for single stock futures is zero. 9 To estimate the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 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 ‘‘Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024’’ on Mar. 23, 2024. This legislation included an appropriation of $2,149,000,000 to the SEC for fiscal year 2024 E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 78 / Monday, April 22, 2024 / Notices estimates that it will collect $913,739,887 in fees for the period prior to the effective date of the new fee rate and $0 in assessments on round turn transactions in security futures products during all of fiscal year 2024. Using the methodology described in Appendix A, the Commission estimates that the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 to be $45,844,550,874,710. The uniform adjusted rate is computed by dividing the residual fees to be collected of $1,274,918,113 by the estimated aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 of $45,844,550,874,710; this results in a uniform adjusted rate for fiscal year 2024 of $27.80 per million.11 III. Effective Date of the Uniform Adjusted Rate Under Section 31(j)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act, the fiscal year 2024 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, 2023, or 60 days after the date on which a regular appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year 2024 is enacted.12 The regular appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year 2024 was enacted on March 23, 2024, and accordingly, the new fee rates applicable under Sections 31(b) and (c) of the Exchange Act will take effect on May 22, 2024. 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 $27.80 per $1,000,000 effective on May 22, 2024.

The Act further directed that ‘‘[i]n addition to the foregoing appropriation, for move, replication, and related costs associated with a replacement leases [sic] for the Commission’s office facilities, not to exceed $39,658,000, to remain available until expended . . .’’. The sum of these amounts is $2,188,658,000. 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 2024’’. Pub. L. 118-xx. 11 Appendix A shows the process of calculating the fiscal year 2024 annual adjustment and includes the data used by the Commission in making this adjustment. 12 15 U.S.C. 78ee(j)(4)(A). VerDate Sep<11>2014 06:41 Apr 20, 2024 Jkt 262001 under Sections 31(b) and (c) of the Exchange Act for fiscal year 2024. 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 2024. 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 2024 (less the sum of fees to be collected during fiscal year 2024 prior to the effective date of the new fee rate and aggregate assessments on security futures transactions during all of fiscal year 2024) 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 2024, 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 February 2024, the last month for which the Commission has data on the dollar volume of covered sales.1 The following sections describe this process in detail. A. Baseline Estimate of the Aggregate Dollar Amount of Covered Sales for Fiscal Year 2024 First, calculate the average daily dollar amount of covered sales (‘‘ADS’’) for each month in the sample (August 2013 through February 2024). 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 1 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 Mar. 23, 2024. The first business day after this date was Mar. 25, 2024. Data for Feb. were due from the exchanges on Mar. 14, 2024. As a result, the Commission used Feb. 2024 and earlier data to forecast volume for Mar. 2024 and later months. PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29403 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 one- and twomonth 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 August 2013 through February 2024.2 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 sixmonth trailing moving average of ADS (shown in column E). For example, the value for March 2014 is the average of the six months ending in March 2014, or October 2013 through March 2014 inclusive. 2 Because the model uses a two period lag in the 6-month trailing moving average of average daily covered sales, seven additional months of data are added to the table so that the model is estimated with 120 observations.

Calculate the one- and two-month lags of the trailing moving average. For example, the one-month lag of the sixmonth trailing moving average for March 2014 is equal to the six-month trailing moving average for February 2014. The two-month lag of the sixmonth trailing moving average for March 2024 is equal to the six-month trailing moving average for January 2014. These are shown in columns F and G. 4. Estimate the model using ordinary least squares: gt = a + b1 gt¥1 + b2 gt¥2 + ut Where gt is the six-month trailing moving average of the average daily sales for month t, and gt¥1 and gt¥2 are the one- and two-month lags of gt, and ut representing the error term for month t. The model can be estimated using standard commercially available software. The estimated parameter values are a = +4,213,794,716, b1 = +1.672194, b2 = –0.679948. The rootmean squared error (RMSE) of the regression is 11,776,068,990. 5. The predicted value of the sixmonth 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 2024. To calculate this value from the model above, one needs the one-month and two-month lag of the six-month trailing moving average ADS, i.e., the six-month trailing moving average for June and July. The sixmonth trailing moving average for July is obtained by using the one- and twomonth lags for July, that is, the sixmonth 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, March 2024, and iterates predictions forward until the last month is predicted. One then multiplies the final predicted six-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 March 2024, using the a, b1, and b2 parameter estimates shown above, along with the one- and two-month lags in the six-month trailing moving average ADS (representing the six-month trailing moving average ADS for January and February 2024, respectively), one can estimate the VerDate Sep<11>2014 06:41 Apr 20, 2024 Jkt 262001 forecast six-month trailing moving average ADS for March: +4,213,794,716 + (1.672194 × 620,578,082,121) + (¥0.679948 × 597,620,038,362) = 635,590,443,613. 7. With the estimated six-month trailing moving average ADS for March 2024 calculated above, one can estimate the six-month trailing moving average ADS for April 2024. The estimate obtained from March 2024 becomes the one-month lag for April, and the onemonth lag used in the March forecast becomes the two-month lag for the April forecast. Thus, the predicted six-month trailing moving average ADS for April 2024 is calculated as: +4,213,794,716 + (1.672194 × 635,590,443,613) + (¥0.679948 × 620,578,082,121) = 645,083,757,473. 8. Using the forecasts for March and April, one can estimate the value for May. Repeat this procedure for subsequent months, until the estimate for August 2024 is obtained. This value is 654,922,155,353.3 This value is then used to calculate the final forecast total monthly covered sales for all six months from March 2024 through August 2024. 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 six-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, 2023, through May 21, 2024. The projected aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for this period is $114,217,485,918,804. Actual and projected fee collections at the current fee rate of $8.00 per million are $913,739,887. 2. Estimate the amount of assessments on security futures products collected from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024. The only entity reporting assessable security futures products ceased operations in September 2020.4 3 One obtains insignificantly different values using the rounded parameter estimates shown above. The predicted ADS values displayed above represents the full precision estimate. 4 Currently, security futures do not trade on any market, therefore the Commission has not collected PO 00000 Frm 00123 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Consequently, the estimated amount of assessments on security futures products collected from September 2023 through August 2024 is zero. 3. Subtract the amount $913,739,887 from the target off-setting collection amount set by Congress of $2,188,658,000, leaving $1,274,918,113 to be collected on dollar volume for the period May 22, 2024, through August 31, 2024. 4. Use Table A to estimate dollar volume for the period May 22, 2024, through August 31, 2024. The estimate is $45,844,550,874,710. Finally, compute the fee rate required to produce the additional $1,274,918,113 in revenue. This rate is $1,274,918,113 divided by $45,844,550,874,710 or 0.00002780959. 5. Round the result to the seventh decimal point, yielding a rate of 0.00002780 (or $27.80 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-99973/April 17, 2024]


Order Making Fiscal Year 2024 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 March 23, 2024, the President signed into law the 
Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, which includes total 
appropriations of $2,188,658,000 to the SEC for fiscal year 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78ee(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Fiscal Year 2024 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 2024 \8\ from an amount equal to the regular appropriation to the 
Commission for fiscal year 2024, 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 Feb. 2024. To calculate the 
dollar amount of covered sales from Mar. 2024 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\ Currently, security futures do not trade on any market, 
therefore the Commission has not collected any assessments for 
transactions in security futures. Accordingly, the forecast for the 
assessments for all of fiscal year 2024 for single stock futures is 
zero.
    \9\ To estimate the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales for 
the remainder of fiscal year 2024 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 Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, 
includes total appropriations of $2,188,658,000 to the Commission for 
fiscal year 2024.\10\ The Commission

[[Page 29403]]

estimates that it will collect $913,739,887 in fees for the period 
prior to the effective date of the new fee rate and $0 in assessments 
on round turn transactions in security futures products during all of 
fiscal year 2024. Using the methodology described in Appendix A, the 
Commission estimates that the aggregate dollar amount of covered sales 
for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 to be $45,844,550,874,710.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The President signed into law the ``Further Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2024'' on Mar. 23, 2024. This legislation 
included an appropriation of $2,149,000,000 to the SEC for fiscal 
year 2024 operations. The Act further directed that ``[i]n addition 
to the foregoing appropriation, for move, replication, and related 
costs associated with a replacement leases [sic] for the 
Commission's office facilities, not to exceed $39,658,000, to remain 
available until expended . . .''. The sum of these amounts is 
$2,188,658,000. 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 2024''. Pub. 
L. 118-xx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The uniform adjusted rate is computed by dividing the residual fees 
to be collected of $1,274,918,113 by the estimated aggregate dollar 
amount of covered sales for the remainder of fiscal year 2024 of 
$45,844,550,874,710; this results in a uniform adjusted rate for fiscal 
year 2024 of $27.80 per million.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Appendix A shows the process of calculating the fiscal year 
2024 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 2024 
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, 
2023, or 60 days after the date on which a regular appropriation to the 
Commission for fiscal year 2024 is enacted.\12\ The regular 
appropriation to the Commission for fiscal year 2024 was enacted on 
March 23, 2024, and accordingly, the new fee rates applicable under 
Sections 31(b) and (c) of the Exchange Act will take effect on May 22, 
2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 $27.80 per $1,000,000 
effective on May 22, 2024.

    By the Commission.
Sherry R. Haywood,
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 2024. 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 2024.
    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 2024 (less the sum of fees to be 
collected during fiscal year 2024 prior to the effective date of the 
new fee rate and aggregate assessments on security futures transactions 
during all of fiscal year 2024) 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 2024, 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 February 2024, the last month 
for which the Commission has data on the dollar volume of covered 
sales.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 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 Mar. 23, 2024. The first business day 
after this date was Mar. 25, 2024. Data for Feb. were due from the 
exchanges on Mar. 14, 2024. As a result, the Commission used Feb. 
2024 and earlier data to forecast volume for Mar. 2024 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 2024

    First, calculate the average daily dollar amount of covered sales 
(``ADS'') for each month in the sample (August 2013 through February 
2024). 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 one- and two-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 August 2013 through 
February 2024.\2\ 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\ Because the model uses a two period lag in the 6-month 
trailing moving average of average daily covered sales, seven 
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 six-month trailing moving 
average of ADS (shown in column E). For example, the value for March 
2014 is the average of the six months ending in March 2014, or October 
2013 through March 2014 inclusive.

[[Page 29404]]

    3. Calculate the one- and two-month lags of the trailing moving 
average. For example, the one-month lag of the six-month trailing 
moving average for March 2014 is equal to the six-month trailing moving 
average for February 2014. The two-month lag of the six-month trailing 
moving average for March 2024 is equal to the six-month trailing moving 
average for January 2014. These are shown in columns F and G.
    4. Estimate the model using ordinary least squares:

[gamma]t = [alpha] + [beta]1 
[gamma]t-1 + [beta]2 [gamma]t-2 + 
ut

    Where [gamma]t is the six-month trailing moving average 
of the average daily sales for month t, and [gamma]t-1 and 
[gamma]t-2 are the one- and two-month lags of 
[gamma]t, and ut representing the error term for 
month t. The model can be estimated using standard commercially 
available software. The estimated parameter values are [alpha] = 
+4,213,794,716, [beta]1 = +1.672194, [beta]2 = -
0.679948. The root-mean squared error (RMSE) of the regression is 
11,776,068,990.
    5. The predicted value of the six-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 2024. To calculate this 
value from the model above, one needs the one-month and two-month lag 
of the six-month trailing moving average ADS, i.e., the six-month 
trailing moving average for June and July. The six-month trailing 
moving average for July is obtained by using the one- and two-month 
lags for July, that is, the six-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, March 2024, and iterates 
predictions forward until the last month is predicted. One then 
multiplies the final predicted six-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 March 2024, using the a, b1, and 
b2 parameter estimates shown above, along with the one- and 
two-month lags in the six-month trailing moving average ADS 
(representing the six-month trailing moving average ADS for January and 
February 2024, respectively), one can estimate the forecast six-month 
trailing moving average ADS for March: +4,213,794,716 + (1.672194 x 
620,578,082,121) + (-0.679948 x 597,620,038,362) = 635,590,443,613.
    7. With the estimated six-month trailing moving average ADS for 
March 2024 calculated above, one can estimate the six-month trailing 
moving average ADS for April 2024. The estimate obtained from March 
2024 becomes the one-month lag for April, and the one-month lag used in 
the March forecast becomes the two-month lag for the April forecast. 
Thus, the predicted six-month trailing moving average ADS for April 
2024 is calculated as: +4,213,794,716 + (1.672194 x 635,590,443,613) + 
(-0.679948 x 620,578,082,121) = 645,083,757,473.
    8. Using the forecasts for March and April, one can estimate the 
value for May. Repeat this procedure for subsequent months, until the 
estimate for August 2024 is obtained. This value is 654,922,155,353.\3\ 
This value is then used to calculate the final forecast total monthly 
covered sales for all six months from March 2024 through August 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 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 six-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, 2023, through May 21, 2024. The projected aggregate dollar amount of 
covered sales for this period is $114,217,485,918,804. Actual and 
projected fee collections at the current fee rate of $8.00 per million 
are $913,739,887.
    2. Estimate the amount of assessments on security futures products 
collected from September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024. The only 
entity reporting assessable security futures products ceased operations 
in September 2020.\4\ Consequently, the estimated amount of assessments 
on security futures products collected from September 2023 through 
August 2024 is zero.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Currently, security futures do not trade on any market, 
therefore the Commission has not collected any assessments for 
transactions in security futures. Accordingly, the forecast for the 
assessments for all of fiscal year 2024 for single stock futures is 
zero.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    3. Subtract the amount $913,739,887 from the target off-setting 
collection amount set by Congress of $2,188,658,000, leaving 
$1,274,918,113 to be collected on dollar volume for the period May 22, 
2024, through August 31, 2024.
    4. Use Table A to estimate dollar volume for the period May 22, 
2024, through August 31, 2024. The estimate is $45,844,550,874,710. 
Finally, compute the fee rate required to produce the additional 
$1,274,918,113 in revenue. This rate is $1,274,918,113 divided by 
$45,844,550,874,710 or 0.00002780959.
    5. Round the result to the seventh decimal point, yielding a rate 
of 0.00002780 (or $27.80 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.
