The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System proposes to amend Regulation EE to expand the definition of 'financial institution' to include swap dealers, security-based swap dealers, major swap participants, nonbank systemically important financial institutions, designated financial market utilities, and foreign banks.

The proposal also clarifies how the existing activities-based test for financial institution status applies following the consolidation of legal entities.
