ACTION: Request for comment.
AGENCY:
The Securities and Exchange
Commission is requesting public
comment to help inform its study
pursuant to Section 939(h) of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 on the feasibility
and desirability of: Standardizing credit
ratings terminology, so that all credit
rating agencies issue credit ratings using
identical terms; standardizing the
market stress conditions under which
ratings are evaluated; requiring a
quantitative correspondence between
credit ratings and a range of default
probabilities and loss expectations
under standardized conditions of
economic stress; and standardizing
credit rating terminology across asset
classes, so that named ratings
correspond to a standard range of
default probabilities and expected losses
independent of asset class and issuing
entity.
