Fed To Collect $440MM From Top 70 Financial Companies

Filed Under: Federal Reserve

The Federal Reserve Board issued a final rule establishing annual assessment fees for its supervision and regulation of large financial companies. For the 2012 assessment period, the first year for which assessment fees will be collected, the Board will notify each company of the amount of its assessment when the rule becomes effective in late October. 

The Board estimates it will collect about $440 million from 70 companies for the 2012 assessment period.  Payments for the 2012 assessment period will be due no later than December 15, 2013. 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act directs the Board to collect assessment fees equal to the expenses it estimates are necessary or appropriate to supervise and regulate bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets and nonbank financial companies designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council for supervision by the Federal Reserve.

The final rule outlines how the Board determines which companies are charged, estimates the applicable expenses, determines each company’s assessment fee, and bills for and collects the assessment fees.

Beginning with the 2013 assessment period, the Federal Reserve will notify each company of the amount of its assessment fee no later than June 30 of the year following the assessment period.  Payments will be due by September 15.  The Federal Reserve will transfer the assessment fees it collects to the U.S. Treasury.
