Agency Rule-Making & Guidance

On November 30, the OCC released instructions and technical specifications for preparing and submitting quantitative measurements relating to Section 13 of the Bank Holding Act, commonly known as the Volcker Rule. As previously covered by InfoBytes, in 2019, the OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, CFTC, and SEC published a final rule amending the regulations implementing the Volcker Rule. Under the amendments, “banking entities with significant trading assets and liabilities” are required to “submit certain quantitative measurements on a quarterly basis and in accordance with the XML schema posted on the OCC’s ‘Volcker Rule Implementation’ web page.” The compliance date for the final rule is January 1, 2021.
