Rulemaking Requirements and Authorities in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 111-203, July 21, 2010) contains more than 300 provisions that expressly indicate in the text that rulemaking is required or permitted. However, it is unclear how many rules will ultimately be issued pursuant to the act because, among other things, (1) most of the provisions appear to be discretionary (e.g., stating that an agency "may" issue a rule); (2) individual provisions may result in multiple rules; (3) some provisions appear to provide rulemaking authorities to agencies that they already possess; and (4) rules may be issued to implement provisions that do not specifically require or permit rulemaking. This report will not be updated.
