Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 74025 

Since this action only corrects the 

mention of an affected part number, it 

has no adverse economic impact and 

imposes no additional burden on any 

person. Therefore, the FAA has 

determined that notice and public 

comment procedures are unnecessary. 

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39 

Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation 

safety, Incorporation by reference, 

Safety. 

Adoption of the Amendment 

Accordingly, pursuant to the

Issue No: 002). 

(d) Subject 

Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) 

Code 7230, Turbine Engine Compressor 

Section. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a manufacturer 

investigation which revealed that 

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul shops 

were misinterpreting accepted knife edge 

coating wear limits. The FAA is issuing this 

AD to prevent heat-induced cracking at the 

forward and aft knife edge seals and 

uncontained separation of the HPC rear hub. 

The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could 

result in uncontained debris release, damage 

to the engine, damage to the airplane, inflight shutdown, and loss of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Required Actions 

At the next engine shop visit after the 

effective date of this AD, replace the HPC 

rear hub with a part eligible for installation. 

(h) Definitions 

(1) For the purpose of this AD, a ‘‘part 

eligible for installation’’ is: 

(i) Any HPC rear hub with an S/N that does 

not appear in Table 2 or Table 3 of 

PW1000G–C–72–00–0209–00A–930A–D, 

Issue No: 002; or 

(ii) Any HPC rear hub that has been 

serviced in accordance with Pratt & Whitney 

Service Bulletin PW1000G–C–72–00–0209– 

00A–930A–D (any revision). 

(2) For the purpose of this AD, an ‘‘engine 

shop visit’’ is the induction of an engine into 

the shop for maintenance involving the 

separation of major mating engine flange H. 

The separation of engine flanges solely for 

the purpose of transportation without 

subsequent engine maintenance does not 

constitute an engine shop visit. 

(i) Credit for Previous Actions 

You may take credit for the actions 

required by paragraph (g) of this AD if you 

performed those actions before the effective 

date of this AD using Pratt & Whitney Service 

Bulletin PW1000G–C–72–00–0209–00A– 

930A–D, Issue No: 001, dated September 13, 

2022.

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

17 CFR Part 1 

Fees for Reviews of the Rule 

Enforcement Programs of Designated 

Contract Markets and Registered 

Futures Associations 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notification of 2022 schedule of 

fees. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) charges fees to 

designated contract markets and 

registered futures associations to recover 

the costs incurred by the Commission in 

the operation of its program of oversight 

of self-regulatory organization rule 

enforcement programs, specifically the 

National Futures Association (‘‘NFA’’), a 

registered futures association, and the 

designated contract markets. Fees 

collected from each self-regulatory 

organization are deposited in the 

Treasury of the United States as 

miscellaneous receipts. The calculation 

of the fee amounts charged for 2022 by 

this document is based upon an average 

of actual program costs incurred during 

fiscal year (‘‘FY’’) 2019, FY 2020, and 

FY 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background Information 

A. General 

This document relates to fees for the 

Commission’s review of the rule 

enforcement programs at the registered 

futures associations 1 and designated 

contract markets (‘‘DCM’’), each of 

which is a self-regulatory organization 

(‘‘SRO’’) regulated by the Commission. 

The Commission recalculates the fees 

charged each year to cover the costs of 

operating this Commission program.2

The fees are set annually based on direct 

program costs, plus an overhead factor. 

The Commission calculates actual costs, 

then calculates an alternate fee taking 

volume into account, and then charges 

the lower of the two.3

B. Overhead Rate 

The fees charged by the Commission 

to the SROs are designed to recover 

program costs, including direct labor 

costs and overhead. The overhead rate 

is calculated by dividing total 

Commission-wide overhead direct 

program labor costs into the total 

amount of the Commission-wide 

overhead pool. For this purpose, direct 

program labor costs are the salary costs 

of personnel working in all Commission 

programs. Overhead costs generally 

consist of the following Commissionwide costs: Indirect personnel costs 

(leave and benefits), rent, 

communications, contract services, 

utilities, equipment, and supplies. This 

formula has resulted in the following 

overhead rates for the most recent three 

years (rounded to the nearest whole 

percent): 174 percent for FY 2019, 158 

percent for FY 2020, and 173 percent for 

FY 2021. 

C. Conduct of SRO Rule Enforcement 

Reviews 

Under the formula adopted by the 

Commission in 1993, the Commission 

calculates the fee to recover the costs of 

its rule enforcement reviews and 

examinations, based on the three-year 

average of the actual cost of performing 

such reviews and examinations at each 

SRO. The cost of operation of the 

Commission’s SRO oversight program 

varies from SRO to SRO, according to 

the size and complexity of each SRO’s 

program. The three-year averaging 

computation method is intended to 

smooth out year-to-year variations in 

cost. Timing of the Commission’s 

reviews and examinations may affect 

costs—a review or examination may 

span two fiscal years and reviews and 

examinations are not conducted at each 

SRO each year. 

As noted above, adjustments to actual 

costs may be made to relieve the burden 

on an SRO with a disproportionately 

large share of program costs. The 

Commission’s formula provides for a 

reduction in the assessed fee if an SRO 

has a smaller percentage of United 

States industry contract volume than its 

percentage of overall Commission 

oversight program costs. This 

adjustment reduces the costs so that, as 

a percentage of total Commission SRO 

oversight program costs, they are in line 

with the pro rata percentage for that 

SRO of United States industry-wide 

contract volume. 

The calculation is made as follows: 

The fee required to be paid to the 

Commission by each DCM is equal to 

the lesser of actual costs based on the 

three-year historical average of costs for 

that DCM or one-half of average costs 

incurred by the Commission for each 

DCM for the most recent three years, 

plus a pro rata share (based on average 

trading volume for the most recent three 

years) of the aggregate of average annual 

costs of all DCMs for the most recent 

three years. 

The formula for calculating the 

second factor is: 0.5a + 0.5 vt = current 

fee. In this formula, ‘‘a’’ equals the 

average annual costs, ‘‘v’’ equals the 

percentage of total volume across DCMs 

over the last three years, and ‘‘t’’ equals 

the average annual costs for all DCMs. 

Since NFA has no contracts traded, its 

fee is based simply on costs for the most 

recent three fiscal years. This table 

summarizes the data used in the 

calculations of the resulting fee for each 

entity:

An example of how the fee is 

calculated for one exchange, the 

Chicago Board of Trade, is set forth 

here: 

a. Actual three-year average costs = 

$42,043 

b. The alternative computation is: [(.5) 

($42,043)] + (.5) [(.3357849) 

($775,684)] = $151,253 

c. The fee is the lesser of a or b; in this 

case $42,043 

As noted above, the alternative 

calculation based on contracts traded is 

not applicable to NFA because it is not 

a DCM and has no contracts traded. The 

Commission’s average annual cost for 

conducting oversight reviews of the 

NFA rule enforcement program during 

fiscal years 2019 through 2021 was 

$610,524. The fee to be paid by the NFA 

for the current fiscal year is $610,524.
