DTCC Data Repository (U.S.) LLC Fee Schedule - Effective January 1, 2021 

General Principles 

This fee schedule shall apply until such time as the Board of DTCC Data Repository (U.S.) LLC (“DDR”) shall 

determine otherwise. This fee schedule supersedes any previously issued DDR fee schedules for reporting to the 

U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning 

provided in the DDR Rulebook and/or DDR Operating Procedures. There are two types of fees, Position 

Maintenance Fees and Account Management Fees, both will be discussed in detail below. 

Position Maintenance Fees by Asset Class 

Position maintenance fees will be imposed on a party who has signed a DDR user agreement (a “User”) based on 

the aggregate number of positions across all five asset classes open on any day during the month (“Position 

Maintenance Fees”). Except as otherwise set forth for cleared transactions below, DDR charges Position 

Maintenance Fees, monthly, as follows:

The following applies to Position Maintenance Fees (altogether, the “Position Application Rules”): 

 There are no Position Maintenance Fees for less than five hundred (500) aggregate positions across asset 

classes during any month; 

 For a position count of five hundred (500) or more aggregate positions across asset classes during any 

month, which shall be determined in the aggregate for entities within the same Family, the applicable 

Position Maintenance Fees by asset class shall apply; and 

 Position Maintenance Fees shall be based on the position count during the month even if liquidated prior 

to month end. 

Examples of the calculation of monthly Position Maintenance Fees are set forth on Annex A, attached hereto. 

Responsibility for Position Maintenance Fees is as follows: 

1. for Cleared Positions, both (i) the derivatives clearing organization, as such term is defined in the Commodity 

Exchange Act section 1(a)15 (a “Clearer”)1 and (ii) the non-Clearer User counterparty shall pay Position 

Maintenance Fees, in accordance with the tables above, less a 75% reduction. Reductions will be made after 

regular positions have been assessed for purposes of calculating tiered pricing. As used herein, “Cleared 

Position” means a position where a Clearer is a counterparty; 

2. for a position submitted by a swap execution facility (“SEF”) or designated contract market (“DCM”), the 

User, who is not the SEF or DCM, for whom or on behalf of whom the trade is submitted shall be responsible 

for Position Maintenance Fees; and 

3. for all other positions submitted by, for or on behalf of a User where the submission specifies a reporting 

obligation value of CFTC, the User shall be responsible for Position Maintenance Fees. 

Account Management Fee 

All account holders, excluding regulators, will be charged an annual account management fee of $1,200.00 

(“Account Management Fee”). Such Account Management Fee will be in addition to and not in place of all 

applicable Position Maintenance Fees and shall not serve to reduce in anyway the amount of such Position 

Maintenance Fees owed to DDR by the applicable account holder. 

Long-Term Commitment Incentive for Non-Clearer Users 

Users who are not Clearers (a “Non-Clearer User”) have the option to elect to enter into a long-term commitment 

with DDR (a “Long-Term Commitment”). By electing the Long-Term Commitment, the applicable then current 

Position Maintenance Fees and Account Management Fee will be reduced by 10%, exclusive of tax, for the duration 

of the Long-Term Commitment. If the Long-Term Commitment is terminated prior to the end of the Long-Term 

Commitment the Non-Clearer User shall be subject to an “Early Termination Fee” equal to: (a) the difference 

between the total amount of fees due after application of the incentive and the total amount of fees that would have 

been due during the applicable portion of the Long-Term Commitment had no incentive been provided (“Total 

Incentive Provided”); plus (b) 5% of the Total Incentive Provided or $500.00, whichever is greater. To elect the 

Long-Term Commitment, Non-Clearer Users should contact GTR_Billing@dtcc.com and, for specific billing 

inquires, Non-Clearer Users should contact GTRBillinginquiries@dtcc.com. 

Long-Term Commitment Incentive for Clearers 

Clearers have the option to elect to enter into a Long-Term Commitment. By electing the Long-Term Commitment, 

a Clearer shall receive a cap on Subject Fees, such that the maximum total amount of Subject Fees that may be 

charged to such Clearer in any calendar year shall not exceed $750,000 for the Long-Term Commitment Period. If 

the Long-Term Commitment is terminated prior to the end of the Long-Term Commitment the Clearer shall be 

subject to the Early Termination Fee. To elect the Long-Term Commitment, Clearers should contact 

GTR_Billing@dtcc.com and, for specific billing inquires, Clearers should contact GTRBillinginquiries@dtcc.com.

In the event a User holds an account that acts as both a Clearer and in an additional role, DDR shall have the right, in its sole and absolute 

discretion, to determine the applicable role for purposes of charging the User fees. Such a determination may result in the User being charged 

fee rates at the higher of the two roles.

Late Fee 

In the event all or any undisputed portion of a User’s invoice becomes ninety (90) days or more past due (the “Past 

Due Balance”), such User shall be subject to a late fee equal to 5% of the Past Due Balance (the “Late Fee”). The 

User will continue to be assessed the Late Fee on a monthly basis until the full amount of the Past Due Balance is 

paid.

Annex A 

Examples of calculation of monthly Position Maintenance Fees: 

1. Monday--10,000 positions; Friday in the same month--9,500 of those positions are liquidated; the 

position count for determination of the Position Maintenance Fee shall be 10,000 for the month. 

 

2. In a given month, 200 positions in FX and 200 positions in Rates; no Position Maintenance Fee will be 

charged for any position (400 position count in the month is less than the 500 position count threshold 

per month). However, the Account Management Fee discussed below will apply. 

3. In a given month, 300 positions in FX, 200 positions in Rates and 100 positions in Commodities; the 

monthly Position Maintenance Fee will be charged for each position based on charges for that asset 

class (600 positions in the month is more than the 500 position count threshold per month). 

Once the aggregate threshold of five hundred (500) or more positions is met, each of the positions are subject 

to Position Maintenance Fees based on the following three categories: 1) Foreign Exchange, 2) Other 

Commodities, and 3) Credit, Equities, and Interest Rates as applicable. Each category will apply the Position 

Maintenance Fees applicable to the aggregate positions per position for each Tier as noted below. 

Example from #3 above: In a given month, three hundred (300) positions in FX, two hundred (200) 

positions in Rates and one hundred (100) positions in Commodities for a total aggregate of six hundred 

(600) positions; the monthly Position Maintenance Fee will be charged for each position based on the asset 

class fees— three hundred (300) FX at $0.70; one hundred (100) Rates at $3.50; one hundred (100) Rates 

at $3.00; one hundred (100) Commodities at $3.50.
