The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that starting on March 18, 2014, the fee rates applicable to most securities transactions will be set at $22.10 per million dollars. The assessment on security futures transactions will remain unchanged at $0.0042 for each round turn transaction.
The Commission determined these new rates in accordance with Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These adjustments do not directly affect the amount of funding available to the SEC.
The Office of Interpretation and Guidance in the Commission’s Division of Trading and Markets is available for questions on Section 31 at (202) 551-5777, or by e-mail at tradingandmarkets@sec.gov.
The Commission will issue further notices on its website as appropriate to keep the public informed of developments relating to fees under Section 31.
