On August 23, 2013, the Federal Reserve published a final rule in the Federal Register (78 FR 52391). This final rule implements section 318 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which directs the Federal Reserve to collect assessments, fees, or other charges equal to the total expenses the Federal Reserve estimates are necessary or appropriate to carry out the supervisory and regulatory responsibilities of the Federal Reserve for bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more and nonbank financial companies designated for Federal Reserve supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council. Each assessed company would have thirty calendar days from June 30 or, for the 2012 assessment period, thirty calendar days from the Board’s issuance of a notice of assessment for that assessment period, to submit a written statement to appeal the Board’s determination (1) that the company is an assessed company or (2) of the company’s total assessable assets. These reporting requirements are found in section 246.5(b) of the final rule.
