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). The corrections become effective from August 06, 2019. The final rule (which is being corrected) excludes, from the Volcker Rule, community banks with USD 10 billion or less in total consolidated assets and total trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets.

- On page 35020, in the third column, correct amendatory instruction 11 to read as—“11. Revise paragraph (a)(6) to read as follows:”
