Supervision and Regulation Assessments for Bank Holding Companies and Savings and Loan
Holding Companies With Total Consolidated Assets of $50 Billion or More and Nonbank

rule on September 9, 2013. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on
August 23, 2013. 78 Fed. Reg. 52,391.

equal to the total expenses the Board estimates are necessary to carry out the supervisory and
regulatory responsibilities of the Board for bank holding companies and savings and loan
companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more and nonbank financial
companies designated for Board supervision by the Financial Stability Oversight Council.

The Congressional Review Act requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from
the date of publication in the Federal Register or receipt of the rule by Congress, whichever is
later. 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(3)(A). This final rule was published on August 23, 2013, and received
on September 9, 2013. It has a stated effective date of October 25, 2013. Therefore, this final
rule does not have the required 60-day delay.
