GENERAL PROVISIONS ESTABLISHING THE COMMISSION REGIME THAT NATIONAL SAR DATABASE OPERATING COMPANIES MUST BE SUBJECT TO

The Board of Directors of the National Commission for the Retirement Savings System, in its Second Ordinary Session held on April 27, 2016, pursuant to Articles 1, 2, 5, fraction II, 8, fraction V, 12, fraction XIII, 57, 58, and 59 of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems; 67, 68, and 69 of the Regulations of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems, and

CONSIDERING

That pursuant to Articles 5, fraction II, and 8, fraction V of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems, this Commission has the authority to determine the commissions that Operating Companies may charge for the services they provide, which must be established in general provisions;

That in accordance with the Concession Title granted by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit to the Operating Companies of the National SAR Database and in terms of Article 58 of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems, the commissions charged serve to provide economic support to the Operating Companies, which are destined to cover the operational costs of the various processes carried out by the Operating Companies, as well as the continuous improvement of the services they provide;

That as a result of the issuance of the General Provisions on operations of the retirement savings systems published on December 28, 2015, in the Official Gazette of the Federation, adjustments were made and differentiated effective dates were established for various "Basic Services" related to Biometric Signature, understood as part of the functions referred to in Article 58 of the Law of the Retirement Savings Systems and the aforementioned Concession Title;

That the "Basic Services" adjusted by the issuance of the aforementioned General Provisions consist of: (i) the formation and registration in the National SAR Database of the biometric elements that form part of an Electronic File of Workers, officials, employees, and other persons who provide any service to the Administrator, including Promoter Agents, Service Agents, and officials authorized by the Administrators to intervene in operational or audit and control processes, who in terms of applicable regulation must have an Electronic File; (ii) the identification in the National SAR Database of whether the biometric elements that form part of the Electronic Files of Workers, officials, employees, and other persons who provide any service to the Administrator, including Promoter Agents, Service Agents, and officials authorized by the Administrators to intervene in operational or audit and control processes, who in terms of applicable regulation must have an Electronic File, correspond to the same individuals and not to any biometric element already registered for another subject; (iii) the administration and safeguarding in the National SAR Database of the biometric elements associated with each Biometric Signature that forms part of the Electronic File; (iv) the consultation of the Electronic File with Biometric data, and (v) the update in the National SAR Database of the biometric elements that form part of an Electronic File;

That the aforementioned "Basic Services" are fundamental elements for the correct operation and functioning of the integration, safeguarding, and administration of the Electronic Files of Workers, officials, employees, and other persons who provide any service to the Administrator, including Promoter Agents, Service Agents, and officials authorized by the Administrators to intervene in operational or audit and control processes, who in terms of applicable regulation must have an Electronic File;

That said "Basic Services" were not regulated under a commission regime, therefore, in accordance with the aforementioned Concession Title, the commissions charged by the Operating Companies are subject to periodic review, so that as a result of the adjustments made, it is allowed for the Operating Companies to cover the operational costs of the various processes they carry out;

That the "Basic Services" included in this instrument are maximum tariffs, cover the Operating Company's costs, cover operational costs without being substantial, and allow the Operating Companies to continuously improve the services they provide;

That through this normative instrument, the commissions charged by the Operating Companies of the National SAR Database are realigned, without representing a substantial increase in the costs of the Retirement Fund Administrators, so that the commissions provided for in these general provisions do not impact the Workers;

And in order for the Operating Companies of the National SAR Database to be able to operate the new operational processes established by the General Provisions on operations of the retirement savings systems, published on December 28, 2015, in the Official Gazette of the Federation, for the benefit of the Workers and the Retirement Savings System, this Commission deems it necessary to create a new commission regime that allows the Operating Companies to achieve this goal.
