Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted on July 21, 2010. Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, also known as the Volcker Rule, adds a new section 13 to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) that generally prohibits any banking entity from engaging in proprietary trading or from investing in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund (together, a covered fund). Section 13 of the BHC Act also provides that nonbank financial companies designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the “Council”) that engage in proprietary trading activities or make investments in covered funds may be made subject by the appropriate Agency or Agencies to additional capital requirements or quantitative limits. In December 2013, the Federal Reserve, OCC, FDIC, SEC and CFTC (the “Agencies”) approved final regulations implementing the provisions of section 13 of the BHC Act (the “final rule”). The restrictions and prohibitions of section 13 of the BHC Act became effective on July 21, 2012, however, the statute provided banking entities a grace period until July 21, 2014, to conform their activities and investments to the requirements of the statute and any rule issued by the Agencies. The statute also granted exclusively to the Federal Reserve authority to provide banking entities additional time to conform or divest their investments and activities covered by section 13. The statute provides that the Federal Reserve may, by rule or order, extend the conformance period “for not more than one year at a time,” up to three times, if in the judgment of the Federal Reserve, an extension is consistent with the purposes of section 13 and would not be detrimental to the public interest. This would allow extensions of the conformance period until July 21, 2017. Section 13 also permits the Federal Reserve, upon application by a banking entity, to provide up to an additional five-year transition period to conform certain illiquid funds. In February 2011, the Federal Reserve adopted a final rule to implement the conformance period provisions of section 13 (“Conformance Rule”) during which banking entities and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Federal Reserve must bring their activities and investments into compliance with the Volcker Rule and implementing regulations. The information collections associated with the Conformance Rule are located in sections 225.181(c) and 225.182(c) of Regulation Y. Sections 225.181(c) and 225.182(c) permit a banking entity and nonbank financial company, respectively, to request an extension of time to conform their activities to the Volcker Rule. The Conformance Rule became effective April 1, 2011.
