[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
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
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.
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

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.
By the Commission.

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.

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 78 / Monday, April 22, 2024 / Notices
3. 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

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.

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\

uniform adjusted rate.\4\ Specifically, the Commission must adjust the
fee rates to a uniform adjusted rate that is reasonably likely to

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission is required to publish notice of the new fee rates

appropriations of $2,188,658,000 to the SEC for fiscal year 2024.

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.

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.

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.
