SUMMARY FINE SCHEDULE

As adopted by the Risk Committee on April 19, 2000
|
|
|
|
|
|
DELIVERY REPORTING FINES
|
|
|
|
Reason for Assessment
|
Amount/Action
|
|
|
|
Under-reporting of priority positions
|
Any firm that under reports long positions during a delivery month will be charged a $50 fee per commodity. When under-reporting affects delivery, an additional charge of at least $25 per contract will be levied; this charge will be reduced, but never below $500, by the amount of carrying costs reimbursed to affected members.*
|
|
|
Over-reporting of priority positions
|
Any firm that over reports long positions that result in delivery must stand for such delivery and retender all positions stopped the next business day.
|
|
|
Reporting tenders in error
|
Firms making errors in tender reporting must make delivery of positions accordingly. Exceptions to this policy would only be in emergency cases such as the shortage of warehouse receipts or shipping certificates.
|
|
|
|
|
The fee when allocation is changed will be $50 per commodity plus $25 or more per contract.
|
|
|
|
|
OPEN INTEREST FINES/FEES
|
|
|
|
Reason for Assessment
|
Amount/Action
|
|
|
Failure to submit substantially complete
and accurate open interest by 5:30 a.m. or failure to have a firm representative available by 5:30 a.m. to respond to questions or problems
|
1st time – warning letter
2nd time – $500
3rd time – $2,000
thereafter – $3,000 per occurrence**
|
|
If a firm under-reports its long position eligible for delivery in a particular commodity by less than 25 contracts and the under-reported position represents less than 5% of the deliveries relating to the particular commodity, the offending clearing member will be charged a $50 fee plus a fee of at least $25 per contract (and BOTCC will not reconstruct how delivery should have transpired). In the event that a firm under-reports its long position eligible for delivery in a particular commodity by 25 or more contracts (and the under-reporting affects delivery), or an under-reported position represents 5% or more of the deliveries of a particular commodity, the offending clearing member will be charged a $50 fee and will be fined at least $25 per contract (and BOTCC will reconstruct how delivery should have occurred absent the under-reporting error and calculate the cost of carry inappropriately incurred by the clearing member(s) that took delivery prematurely).
