The Federal Reserve has adopted a
final rule that would implement section 14 of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act), which was added by section 622 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank Act). Section 14 establishes a financial sector
concentration limit that generally prohibits a financial company
from merging or consolidating with, or acquiring, another company
if the resulting company's liabilities upon consummation would
exceed 10 percent of the aggregate liabilities of all financial
companies. Regulation XX establishes reporting requirements for
financial companies that do not otherwise report consolidated
financial information to the Federal Reserve or other appropriate
Federal banking agency and creates a new reporting form, the
Financial Company (as defined) Report of Consolidated Liabilities
(FR XX-1).
