    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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 12 U.S.C. 248(s). The second section 11(s) of the Federal 
Reserve Act was added by section 318 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 
Reform and Consumer Protection Act. There are two subsections of 
section 11 of the Federal Reserve Act designated as (s). The 
provision relating to assessments is described as the ``second'' 
subsection (s) as it was enacted later in time.
    \2\ 12 CFR 246.5(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 12 U.S.C. 248(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
