This report responds to a mandate in the Investor and Capital Markets Fee Relief Act (the Act) for GAO to study the implications of converting the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to a self-funded basis. Although SEC is fully funded through fees it collects, SEC's current funding structure differs from the Act's definition of self-funding. The Act defines self-funding as an authorization for SEC "to deposit the receipts of its collections in the Treasury of the United States, or in a depository institution, but such deposits are not treated as Government or appropriated monies, and are available for the salaries and other expenses of the Commission and its employees without annual appropriation or apportionment." Although SEC currently deposits its collected fees in the Treasury, where its deposits are treated as offsetting collections and not general funds of the Treasury, it cannot deposit its fees in a depository institution, and its monies are annually appropriated and apportioned. In this report, we refer to the Act's definition of self-funding as a self-controlled funding structure.

This book focuses on four energy commodities -- crude oil, unleaded gasoline, natural gas, and heating oil -- and Commodity Futures Trading Commission's oversight of these commodities. Specifically, this report examines (1) trends and patterns of trading activity in the physical and energy derivatives markets and the effects of those trends on prices; (2) the scope of CFTC's authority for protecting market users from fraudulent, manipulative, and abusive practices in the trading of energy futures contracts; and (3) the effectiveness of CFTC's monitoring and detection of market abuses in energy futures markets and in connection with energy-related enforcement actions. This is an excerpted, edited and indexed version of a GAO report.
