{"abstract":"On September 30, 2016, the Board published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) to adopt additional limitations on physical commodity trading activities conducted by financial holding companies under complementary authority granted pursuant to section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act and clarify certain existing limitations on those activities; amend the Board's risk-based capital requirements to better reflect the risks associated with a financial holding company's physical commodity activities; rescind the findings underlying the Board orders authorizing certain financial holding companies to engage in energy management services and energy tolling; remove copper from the list of metals that bank holding companies are permitted to own and store as an activity closely related to banking; and increase transparency regarding physical commodity activities of financial holding companies through more comprehensive regulatory reporting. Due to the range and complexity of the issues addressed in the NPR, the public comment period has been extended until February 20, 2017. This action will allow interested persons additional time to analyze the proposal and prepare their comments.","action":"Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment period.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM","name":"Federal Reserve System","id":188,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-reserve-system","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/188","parent_id":null,"slug":"federal-reserve-system"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/12/23/2016-30993.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":217,"title":12},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":225,"title":12}],"citation":"81 FR 94276","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2017-02-20","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The comment period for the notice of proposed rulemaking published on September 23, 2016, (81 FR 67220) regarding risk-based capital and other regulatory requirements for activities of financial holding companies related to physical commodities and risk-based capital requirements for merchant banking investments is extended from December 22, 2016 to February 20, 2017.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. R-1547","RIN 7100 AE-58"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2016-30993","effective_on":"2016-09-23","end_page":94277,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2016/12/23/2016-30993.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/12/23/2016-30993/risk-based-capital-and-other-regulatory-requirements-for-activities-of-financial-holding-companies","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2016-30993?publication_date=2016-12-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2016-12-23/2016-30993/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":1404,"last_updated":"2026-04-24 04:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-23/pdf/2016-30993.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-30993.pdf?1482414405","publication_date":"2016-12-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2016/12/23/2016-30993.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"FRS","document_id":"FRS-2016-0415-0001","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T20:48:06Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":94276,"subtype":null,"title":"Risk-Based Capital and Other Regulatory Requirements for Activities of Financial Holding Companies Related to Physical Commodities and Risk-Based Capital Requirements for Merchant Banking Investments, Regulations Q and Y","toc_doc":"Risk-based Capital and Other Regulatory Requirements for Activities of Financial Holding Companies Related to Physical Commodities and Risk-based Capital Requirements for Merchant Banking Investments","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":81}
