The SEC collects fees under various provisions of the securities laws, including the following:
Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 (for registrations of securities);
Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (for specified repurchases of securities);
Section 14(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (for proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions); and
Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (for securities transactions on the exchanges and certain over-the-counter markets).
The SEC will periodically issue notices — typically in the form of a press release labeled a “Fee Rate Advisory” — to keep the public informed of adjustments to the rates and developments relating to the effective dates of any new fee rates.
