Corrections in FEC+ for PIT Transactions / Exchange Fees

As you are aware, a void or correction is allowed to occur up to four business days after the original trade has cleared through Front-End Clearing (FEC). Currently, with respect to PIT transactions, when correction functionality is leveraged through FEC+, there are no offsets of Exchanges Fees applied within the Exchange Fee System (EFS). Instead a Clearing Member Firm must submit a manual rebate request, to CME Group’s fee administration staff.
