        <ExplanationTxt>U.S. GAAP prescribes a minimum recognition threshold and measurement methodology that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Commission is subject to regular audit by tax authorities. Management believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns. In assessing the realizability of tax benefits, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of any tax position will not be realized. Management believes that its nonprofit status would be sustained upon examination. If applicable, the Commission would classify interest and penalties on underpayments of income tax as miscellaneous expenses. The Commission files informational returns with the Internal Revenue Service. With few exceptions, the Commission is no longer subject to U.S. federal, New York State and local tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before September 30, 2014.</ExplanationTxt>
