Book excerpt: Conformance Period for Prohibited Proprietary Trading or Private Equity or Hedge Fund Activities (US Federal Reserve System Regulation) (FRS) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Conformance Period for Prohibited Proprietary Trading or Private Equity or Hedge Fund Activities (US Federal Reserve System Regulation) (FRS) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Board is adopting a final rule to implement the conformance period during which banking entities and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board must bring their activities and investments into compliance with the prohibitions and restrictions on proprietary trading and relationships with hedge funds and private equity funds imposed by section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"). Section 619 is commonly referred to as the "Volcker Rule." The final rule is similar to the proposal issued for comment in November 2010. The Board, however, has incorporated a number of changes to the final rule to address issues raised by public commenters, to reduce potential regulatory burdens, and to clarify application of the rule.
