About Regulations

The Board is statutorily mandated by Congress to implement the Federal Reserve Act, which established the Federal Reserve System, as well as the Bank Holding Company Act and certain other laws relating to a wide range of banking and financial activities. The Board implements these laws in part through its regulations, which are codified in title 12, chapter II, of the Code of Federal Regulations (12 CFR 201 et seq.).
