MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE GENERAL RULES TO WHICH THE INFORMATION THAT RETIREMENT FUND ADMINISTRATORS, SPECIALIZED INVESTMENT SOCIETIES FOR RETIREMENT FUNDS, RECEIVING ENTITIES, AND OPERATORS OF THE NATIONAL SAR DATABASE MUST SUBMIT TO THE NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE RETIREMENT SAVINGS SYSTEM MUST ADHERE.

The President of the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System, based on the provisions of articles 5 fractions I, II, VII and XVI, 12 fractions I, VIII and XVI, 88, 89, 90 fractions II, 91 and 113 of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems; 106 of the Law of the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers; 140 of the Regulations of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems; 1, 2 fraction III and 8 first paragraph of the Internal Regulations of the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System, and

CONSIDERING

That Circular 19-8, "General Rules to which the information that Retirement Fund Administrators, Specialized Investment Societies for Retirement Funds, Receiving Entities, and Operators of the National SAR Database must submit to the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System" must adhere, modified and added, aims to establish the procedure and requirements that Retirement Fund Administrators, Specialized Investment Societies for Retirement Funds, Receiving Entities, and Operators of the National SAR Database must adhere to regarding the information they must provide to the Commission, so that it has the necessary elements to supervise their proper functioning;

That in matters of Gender Equity, on August 7, 2012, the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, based on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, recommended to the Mexican State in observation 29 of the "Final Observations of the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women" that measures be adopted to guarantee equality of opportunities for women and men in the labor market;

That in light of the above, as a precautionary measure that incentivizes the realization of equality between men and women in the workplace, the obligation of Retirement Fund Administrators to reveal the gender composition of the members of the Board of Directors, the General Director, the officials of the two immediate subsequent levels and their auditors, the integration of the Investment and Risk Committees, as well as the Regulatory Comptroller, is included;

That in terms of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems, Retirement Fund Administrators must adhere to the catalog authorized by this Commission for this purpose, as well as to the criteria and procedures established in the general provisions and in the annexes that integrate them, in matters of accounting, which are periodically updated;

That in this sense, this Commission in the "General Provisions on the registration of accounting, preparation and presentation of financial statements to which Retirement Fund Administrators, and Specialized Investment Societies for Retirement Funds must adhere" will foresee sufficient catalogs in accounting matters for Retirement Fund Administrators, so it is necessary to update annex 60 of the aforementioned Rules in order to cease providing for the obligation of Administrators to adhere to the General Catalog, and

That complying with the "Agreement that establishes the guidelines that must be observed by the dependencies and decentralized organisms of the Federal Public Administration, regarding the issuance of general administrative acts to which article 69-H of the Federal Administrative Procedure Law applies", due to the issuance of this Circular, rule Tenth is derogated and the obligation of Administrators to adhere to the General Catalog provided for in annex 60 of Circular 19-8, "General Rules to which the information that Retirement Fund Administrators, Specialized Investment Societies for Retirement Funds, Receiving Entities, and Operators of the National SAR Database must submit to the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System" must adhere, modified and added, has deemed it appropriate to issue the following:
