AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: Section 806(a) of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’ or 

‘‘Act’’) permits the Board of Governors 

of the Federal Reserve System (the 

‘‘Board’’) to authorize a Federal Reserve 

Bank to establish and maintain an 

account for, and through the account 

provide certain financial services to, 

financial market utilities (‘‘FMUs’’) that 

are designated as systemically important 

by the Financial Stability Oversight 

Council (the ‘‘Council’’). In addition, 

section 806(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act 

permits a Reserve Bank to pay interest 

on the balances maintained by or on 

behalf of a designated FMU. The Board 

is proposing to add two new sections to 

Part 234 of Title 12 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations to implement these 

provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.

A. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act 

FMUs, such as payment systems, 

central securities depositories, and 

central counterparties, are critical 

components of the nation’s financial 

system that provide the essential 

infrastructure to clear and settle 

payments and other financial 

transactions, upon which the financial 

markets and the broader economy rely 

to function effectively. FMUs operate 

multilateral systems in which financial 

institutions, such as banks, participate 

pursuant to a common set of rules and
