US Agencies Correct Errors in Regulation on Amendments to Volcker Rule
US Agencies (CFTC, FDIC, FED, and SEC) published a notice in the Federal Register to correct errors in the "amendatory instructions" to the final rule excluding community banks from Section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act (Volcker Rule).
