The Federal Reserve Board on Tuesday requested comment on a
proposed rule to amend Regulation HH to set out the conditions and
requirements for a Federal Reserve Bank to open and maintain
accounts for and provide financial services to financial market utilities
designated as systemically important by the Financial Stability Oversight
Council.
In addition, the proposed rule, which implements provisions of Title VIII
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,
would authorize a Reserve Bank to pay interest on the balances
maintained by a designated financial market utility in accordance with
the title and other terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe.
The Board is requesting public comment on all aspects of the proposed
amendments to Regulation HH contained in the attached Federal
Register notice. Comments on the proposal will be due 60 days after
the rule is published in the Federal Register, which is expected shortly.
For media inquiries, call 202-452-2955.
