L. 111-203 or ``Dodd-Frank Act''), which directs the Department to establish by regulation an assessment schedule for bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or greater and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (``the Board'') to collect assessments equal to the total expenses of the Office of Financial Research (``OFR'' or ``the Office'').
