Labrador urns? I don't recall that one, but this is a Detroit article. Perhaps local news pieces around the country vary from article to article. They are tough to find. Even on the CBSnews.com one can't find resent news on a search for EI. It will be nice when we can search and find news and such on sites like CBS/MLB etc..

SEC Chairman Cox Announces $700 Million Fee Cut to Benefit Investors
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2007-24
Washington, D.C., Feb. 16, 2007 - Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox announced today that, starting next week, the agency will sharply cut the fees charged to public companies and other issuers for securities transactions and registrations.
"The investors who bear the burden of these SEC fees deserve this relief," said SEC Chairman Christopher Cox. "It will mean that more of their hard earned savings will be available for important needs such as education, health care, and retirement — and less will be diverted to Washington."
The SEC sets registration and transaction fees according to the Investor and Capital Markets Fee Relief Act. The fee cuts that will go into effect next week are significant: fees to register securities with the Commission will be reduced by 71.3 percent, and fees on securities transactions will be reduced by 50.2 percent.
Background
Under the Investor and Capital Markets Fee Relief Act, the SEC makes annual adjustments to the rates paid under Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(e), 14(g), and 31 of the Securities Act of 1934. The fee cuts the SEC intended to put into effect for 2007 were thrown into question, however, because the law makes fee rate changes effective only upon enactment of the Commission's "regular appropriations" — and for fiscal 2007, Congress passed a continuing resolution for the entire government, instead of the regular appropriations bill that includes the SEC. As a result, the agency requested special legislative relief to permit the fee cuts to go forward. Congress agreed to the request, and on Feb. 15, 2007, President Bush signed House Joint Resolution 20, the continuing resolution for the remainder of FY 2007, which stated that it shall be deemed the Commission's "regular appropriation" for FY 2007. That, in turn, triggered the fees cuts.
Accordingly, effective Feb. 20, 2007, the Section 6(b) fee rate applicable to the registration of securities, the 13(e) fee rate fee rate applicable to the repurchase of securities, and the Section 14(g) fee rate applicable to proxy solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions will decrease to $30.70 per million dollars. The Section 6(b) rate also is the rate used to calculate the fees payable with the Annual Notice of Securities Sold pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
All filings submitted to the SEC before 5:30 p.m. EST, and filings pursuant to Rule 462(b) (17 C.F.R. 230.462(b)) submitted to the SEC before 10:00 p.m. EST, on Feb. 19, 2007, will be subject to the current fee rate of $107.00 per million dollars. Rule 462(b) filings submitted after 10:00 p.m. EST, and all other filings submitted after 5:30 p.m. EST, on Feb. 19, 2007, under Section 232.13 of Regulation S-T (17 C.F.R. 232.13), will be subject to the new fee rate of $30.70 per million dollars.
Questions about the new Section 6(b), Section 13(e), or Section 14(g) fee rates should be directed to the Filer Support Unit in the SEC's Office of Filings and Information Services at (202) 551-8900.
In addition, effective March 17, 2007, the Section 31 fee rate applicable to securities transactions on the exchanges and over-the-counter markets will decrease to $15.30 per million dollars. Further, pursuant to Section 31, the Commission will determine no later than March 1, 2007 whether a mid-year adjustment to the Section 31 fee rate will be necessary. The Section 31 assessment on security futures transactions also will decrease to $0.0042 per round turn transaction, effective March 17, 2007.
The adjusted fee rates will not affect the amount of funding available to the Commission.
The Commission will announce the new fee rates for FY 2008 no later than April 30, 2007. These fee rates will become effective October 1, 2007, or after the Commission's FY 2008 appropriation is enacted.
Additional information on the Section 31 fee rate will be available on the Internet websites of the New York Stock Exchange and the NASD at http://www.nyse.com and http://www.nasd.com, respectively. The Division of Market Regulation's Office of Interpretation and Guidance also is available to answer questions relating to Section 31. That office may be reached by phone at 202-551-5777 or by email at marketreg@sec.gov.
The Commission will issue further notices as appropriate to keep the public informed of developments relating to the fee rates. These notices will be posted at the SEC's Internet web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Businesses that have been agitating for less stringent oversight of financial compliance regulations will get a first taste of relief in the next two weeks, when the Securities & Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board unveil a plan for streamlining the day-to-day workings of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
ADVERTISEMENT
It's an exercise designed to address businesses' core concern: Compliance simply costs too much. But when the dust settles and final rules are adopted early in 2007, any changes are likely to have a modest impact on Corporate America's bottom line. Their real value, rather, might be peace of mind.
On Dec. 13, the SEC will announce a plan to streamline its rule requiring companies to adopt internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. At about the same time, the PCAOB will make public a rewrite of its notorious accounting standard, which guides audits of those internal controls. The proposals will kick off at least two months of jockeying as businesses push for more change while investors bemoan a rolling back of industry oversight before either body adopts any final changes.
Risk-Based Auditing
Taking the lobbying lead in Washington are the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce, community bankers, and organizations whose memberships are heavy in small-cap and micro-cap companies that often operate with small staffs on thin profit margins -- think biotech. Business and its allies want to loosen the requirement that all internal controls be tested every year, rolling tests back on low-risk areas to every second or third year.
They also want regulators to refine the scope of external audits to make them more risk-based, and scale back overall requirements for smaller companies, which now enjoy a temporary exemption from the rule.
Technical changes in the rules would go a long way toward lowering the complexity of compliance without exposing investors to higher risk of fraud. The original regulations lacked basic definitions on key points such as which balance sheets were "material" to a company's finances or which internal controls were "significant" enough to merit scrutiny.
How Much is Too Much?
That led auditors and their clients to take a cover-your-behind approach that has contributed enormously to overall compliance costs. "There's blame at the SEC and PCAOB for the high cost of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance," says Richard T. Roth, chief research officer at The Hackett Group, a strategic consulting firm.
"But there's also blame at the senior-level executive suite. They were approaching compliance with belts and suspenders, using excessive processes to make sure there were no issues." In other words, execs and their auditors overreacted to Sarbanes-Oxley, a phenomenon that even some accounting industry insiders privately admit.
"We're not going to err on the side of not checking something," said one accounting industry lobbyist. Defining what is material and what isn't could streamline the annual oversight process by giving auditors the all-clear to focus on, say, inventory valuations while eliminating the need to track pencils in the supply cabinet.
Building Trust
That's something some auditors already are doing. A constant stream of feedback from the SEC and PCAOB over the past two years has led to changes in behavior in the C-suite (Fortune 500 company chiefs), which has seen its compliance costs shrink in the past year as administrators streamline procedures and auditors hone their approach based on input from regulators. The PCAOB in particular has been reaching out to industry and acting on feedback it gets during its annual, on-the-ground inspections of the top eight accounting firms.
And the further Enron and WorldCom recede into the past, the easier it has become to build trust between oversight agencies and the people they police. "It's very important that we write specifically into the rule a provision to allow more judgment on the part of auditors and management," says Wayne Kolins, national assurance director at BDO Seidman, a Chicago-based financial-services firm.
But if major cost-cutting isn't on the table, what's driving the demand to tinker with the regulations? The real benefit of change could be a legal one -- a shield from exposure to shareholder lawsuits. Without specific direction from regulators, companies fret that anything intimating even the slightest hint of a shortcut could leave them vulnerable to expensive shareholder litigation. It's that fear, probably as much or more than actual compliance costs, that's driving the call for change.
Cost of Compliance
Indeed, although conventional wisdom has pegged Sarbanes-Oxley compliance as exorbitantly costly, the compliance standard is not quite the crisis business has made it out to be. The now-infamous $1.4 trillion cost of the law, a figure calculated by measuring the drop in stock market capitalization during July, 2002, when the legislation was passed, has been widely discredited.
More recently, studies based on surveys of actual costs show much smaller numbers, though they continue to outpace the $91,000-per-company cost -- or $1.24 billion -- estimated by the SEC when it issued its guidance. Hackett's Roth puts the current average cost of compliance at 2.5% of a company's revenue, down 3% from a year ago. So-called "world-class" operations, which have less complex internal controls, spend even less -- about 1.4% of revenue, including direct compliance costs and outside auditing fees.
Not Going to Capitol Hill
Political and procedural realities dictate that any final set of changes won't have a remarkably significant impact on how SarbOx is implemented. Business has pushed for reform at the agency level instead of turning to Congress for a rewrite of the law, in part, because lobbyists fear that reopening the law, especially in the new, Democrat-controlled Congress, risks making it worse.
That means regulators will have to work within the confines of the existing statute, which limits their latitude to make changes. The SEC, for example, won't likely be able to exempt smaller businesses from the most onerous sections of the audit standards without getting the law changed.
Nice post bro...lol
