The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) has filed a rule change to update its schedule of fees. This change, effective February 14, 2025, increases the per contract clearing fee from $0.02 to $0.025 and removes the flat per transaction fee of $55.00 for transactions of 2,751 or more contracts. The OCC states that this update is based on its need to address expected cash flow requirements considering interest rate forecasts, operating expenses, and other financial factors. Comments on this proposed rule change are being accepted until March 17, 2025.

The Postal Regulatory Commission has announced that the Postal Service is seeking an exemption from the annual revenue cap for its market test of an experimental product called Extended Mail Forwarding. This service helps customers receive mail after changing addresses and has expanded from nine districts to a nationwide scope. The Postal Service expects the market test to exceed the $10 million revenue limit but argues that the service benefits the public and supports their financial stability without causing unfair competition. The Commission invites public comments on this request by February 10, 2021.
