| 2011-2717 | Recommendations Regarding Modifications to the Concentration Limit on Large Financial Companies | Notice | Section 622 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act" or "Dodd-Frank Act") establishes a financial sector concentration limit that generally prohibits a financial company \1\ from merging or consolidating with, acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of, or otherwise acquiring control of, another company if the resulting company's consolidated liabilities would exceed 10 percent of the aggregate consolidated liabilities of all financial companies.\2\ This concentration limit is intended, along with a number of other provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act, to promote financial stability and address the perception that large financial institutions are "too big to fail." Section 622 of the Act also requires the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the "Council") to: (i) Complete a study of the extent to which the concentration limit would affect financial stability, moral hazard in the financial system, the efficiency and competitiveness of United States financial firms and financial markets, and the cost and availability of credit and other financial services to households and businesses in the United States; and (ii) make recommendations regarding any modifications to the concentration limit that the Council determines would more effectively implement section 622.\3\ On January 18, 2011, the Council approved and issued its concentration limit study and the recommendations on how to effectively implement section 622. The Council seeks public comment on the Council recommendations described below. The Council will review and, if appropriate, revise its recommendations in response to the public comments it receives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 2011-02-08 | 2011 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/02/08/2011-2717/recommendations-regarding-modifications-to-the-concentration-limit-on-large-financial-companies | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-02-08/pdf/2011-2717.pdf | Financial Stability Oversight Council | 565 | Section 622 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act" or "Dodd-Frank Act") establishes a financial sector concentration limit that generally prohibits a financial company \1\ from merging or consolidating with,... |
