2012-12-14 | 2012-30224The Commodity Futures Trading Commission issues a notice establishing the fiscal year 2012 fee schedule for designated contract markets and the National Futures Association to recover oversight costs. The Commission calculates these fees based on a three-year average of actual program costs, applying a formula that considers direct labor, overhead, and trading volume to determine the final amount owed by each self-regulatory organization. Each regulated entity is required to remit its applicable fee electronically on or before February 12, 2013.
