Starting on October 1, 2011, the fees for registration of securities with the SEC will be reduced to $114.60 per million dollars from their current rate of $116.10 per million dollars.  (As a result of changes made under Dodd Frank, the annual rate changes for fees paid under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act and Sections 13(e) and 14(g) of the Exchange Act must take effect on the first day of each fiscal year.) All filings submitted to the SEC before 5:30 p.m. ET, and 462(b) filings submitted to the SEC before 10:00 p.m. ET, on September 30, 2011, will be subject to the current fee rate of $116.10 per million dollars. Rule 462(b) filings submitted after 10:00 p.m. ET, and all other filings submitted after 5:30 p.m. ET, on September 30, 2011, will be deemed filed as of the next business day and subject to the new fee rate of $114.60 per million dollars. Filers with questions about the new fee rates should call the SEC at (202) 551-8900.
