              APPROPRIATIONS TO THE COMMISSION.

    Section 12 of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 16) is amended 
by adding at the end the following:
    ``(i) Recovery of Costs of Annual Appropriations.--
            ``(1) Imposition of fees.--
                    ``(A) In general.--The Commission shall, by order, 
                impose a fee on each agreement, contract, or 
                transaction that is a contract of sale of a commodity 
                for future delivery, an option on such a contract, or a 
                swap, so that the total of the fees so imposed during 
                each fiscal year is sufficient to recover the costs to 
                the Government of the annual appropriation to the 
                Commission by Congress for the fiscal year.
                    ``(B) Limitation.--The fees imposed under this 
                paragraph on all transactions of the same kind shall be 
                determined in a uniform manner.
                    ``(C) Mid-year adjustment.--
                            ``(i) In general.--By March 1 of each 
                        fiscal year, the Commission shall determine 
                        whether, based on the fees collected under this 
                        subsection during the first 5 months of the 
                        fiscal year, the total of the amounts collected 
                        and to be collected under this subsection for 
                        the fiscal year is reasonably likely to be 10 
                        percent (or more) greater or less than the 
                        costs described in subparagraph (A) for the 
                        fiscal year. If the Commission so determines, 
                        the Commission shall by order, no later than 
                        March 1 of the fiscal year, adjust the fee 
                        rates otherwise applicable under this paragraph 
                        for the fiscal year so that the total of the 
                        amounts so collected and to be collected is 
                        reasonably likely to equal to the costs so 
                        described.
                            ``(ii) Effective date.--Subject to
