Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act)
authorizes the Board to implement enhanced prudential standards for
certain bank holding companies (BHCs), nonbank financial companies
supervised by the Board (nonbank systemically important financial
institutions, or nonbank SIFIs), and foreign banking organizations
(FBOs). Section 165 also imposes requirements relating to stress
tests on the companies listed above and certain other financial
companies, including state member banks (SMBs). The Board has
relied on this authority to enact Regulation YY - Enhanced
Prudential Standards (12 CFR Part 252), which applies to BHCs and
FBOs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more,
nonbank SIFIs, and U.S. intermediate holding companies (IHCs) of
FBOs with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more, as
well as SMBs with total consolidated assets of $250 billion or
more. The enhanced prudential standards and other requirements
contained in Regulation YY include risk-based and leverage capital
requirements, liquidity standards, requirements for overall risk
management (including establishing a risk committee), stress test
requirements, and debt-to-equity limits for companies that the
Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has determined pose a
grave threat to financial stability.
