*General description of report:*                     The Board's Regulation TT—Supervision and Regulation Assessments of Fees (12 CFR part 246) implements the second section 11(s) of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA),[1]                                          which directs the Board to collect assessments, fees, or other charges (collectively, assessments) from BHCs and SLHCs that meet a size threshold and from all nonbank financial companies designated for Board supervision by the FSOC (collectively, assessed companies) in an amount equal to the total expenses the Board estimates are necessary or appropriate to carry out its supervisory and regulatory responsibilities with respect to such companies. Pursuant to Regulation TT, the Board issues an annual notice of assessment to each assessed company. Assessed companies may file a written appeal with the Board regarding the assessment.[2] 

*Legal authorization and confidentiality:*                     The FR TT is authorized pursuant to the second section 11(s) of the FRA, which requires the Board to collect the assessments, as described above, and section 11(i) of the FRA,[3]                                          which provides that the Board shall make all rules and regulations necessary to enable the Board to effectively perform the duties, functions, or services specified in the FRA. The FR TT reporting provisions are required to obtain a benefit.                

                    An assessed company may request confidential treatment of information contained in its appeal pursuant to exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which protects nonpublic commercial or financial information, which is both customarily and actually treated as private by the respondent.[4]                                          Determinations of confidentiality based on FOIA exemption 4 would be made on a case-by-case basis.
