Notice and Request for Information Regarding the Council’s “Volcker Rule” Study and Recommendations - 10/01/2011
The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Council to conduct a study and make recommendations by January 22, 2011, to inform coordinated agency rulemaking on the “Volcker Rule.”  The Volcker Rule will help improve the safety of our nation’s banking system by prohibiting proprietary trading activities and certain private fund investments. The Notice and Request for Information (RFI) provides an effective mechanism for soliciting public and industry input during the development of the Council’s formal study and recommendations.  The RFI will have a 30-day public comment period.
