(2) Council approval of regulations with respect to categories Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(B), a regulation issued by the Board of Governors to make a determination under such paragraph (1)(B) shall not take effect unless the Council, by a vote of not fewer than two-thirds of the voting members then serving, including an affirmative vote by the Chairperson, approves the metrics used by the Board of Governors in establishing such regulation. (3) Considerations In making any determination under paragraph (1), the Board of Governors shall consider the following factors: (A) The size of the bank holding company. (B) The interconnectedness of the bank holding company. (C) The extent of readily available substitutes or financial institution infrastructure for the services of the bank holding company. (D) The global cross-jurisdictional activity of the bank holding company. (E) The complexity of the bank holding company.

(5) Use of currently reported data to avoid unnecessary burden For purposes of making a determination under paragraph (1), the Board of Governors shall make use of data already being reported to the Board of Governors, including from calculating a bank holding company’s systemic indicator score, in order to avoid placing an unnecessary burden on bank holding companies. .

Rule of construction Nothing in this Act or the amendments made by this Act shall be construed to prohibit the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from prescribing enhanced prudential standards for any bank holding company which the Board of Governors determines, based upon the bank holding company’s size, interconnectedness, substitutability, global cross-jurisdictional activity, and complexity, could pose a safety and soundness risk to the stability of the United States banking or financial system but has not been designated as a global systemically important bank holding company. 5.

(2) Considerations In making assessments pursuant to paragraph (1), the Secretary of the Treasury shall take into account differences among the bank holding companies subject to such assessment, based on the considerations for establishing the prudential standards under section 115 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ( 12 U.S.C. 5325 ).
