This past weekend marked the third anniversary of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

For the anniversary, as it has done regularly since its passage, the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell tracked the progress of its many legislative mandates. It fund a lot of pages and a lot of remaining work to be done.

As of July 15, 2013, 279 Dodd-Frank Act deadlines have passed. Of these deadlines, 172 (61.6 percent) were missed;  107 (38.4 percent) were met with finalized rules. Thus far, 158 of the 398 total required rules have been finalized, while 127 requirements have yet to even be proposed.

Over the course of the three years since passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, its initial 848 pages of statutory text has ballooned to 13,789 pages (which amount to more than 10 times the length of Tolstoy's “War and Peace”). That page count, high as it is, represents only 39 percent of the required rulemaking contained within the legislation.

The more than 15 million words of rules written to date amount to 42 words published in the Federal Register for each word of law. Six agencies have written the majority of the rules, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (4,537 pages), the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (4,156 pages), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (3,165 pages), the Federal Reserve (1,959 pages), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (1,187 pages), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (1,081 pages).

Broken down by subject matter, 4,950 pages relate to derivatives rules. Consumer protection issues span 2,173 pages and mortgage reforms are covered in 1,870 pages. Regulations for banking and private funds span 1,795 and 1,207 pages respectively.

Thus far, there have been 4,259 publicly listed meetings held with regulators and 48 Congressional hearings related to Dodd-Frank Act rulemaking.
