Download as PDF jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 78182 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 242 / Friday, December 16, 2011 / Proposed Rules Frank Act.1 Proposed Rule 127B under the Securities Act would prohibit certain persons who create and distribute an asset-backed security, including a synthetic asset-backed security, from engaging in transactions, within one year after the date of the first closing of the sale of the asset-backed security, that would involve or result in a material conflict of interest with respect to any investor in the assetbacked security. The proposed rule also would provide exceptions from this prohibition for certain risk-mitigating hedging activities, liquidity commitments, and bona fide marketmaking. The ABS Conflicts Proposal was published in the Federal Register on September 28, 2011. The Commission originally requested that comments on the ABS Conflicts Proposal be received by December 19, 2011, including comment about any potential interplay 2 between Proposed Rule 127B and the ‘‘Volcker Rule Proposal.’’ 3 The Volcker Rule Proposal would implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act concerning prohibitions and restrictions on proprietary trading and certain interests in, and relationships with, hedge funds and private equity funds. The Volcker Rule Proposal was published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2011 and the comment period for that proposal ends on January 13, 2012. In an effort to provide the public with a better opportunity to consider any potential interplay between the ABS Conflicts and Volcker Rule Proposals, the Commission has determined to provide the public additional time to consider simultaneously the ABS Conflicts Proposal and the Volcker Rule Proposal. This extended opportunity to submit comprehensive comments regarding the ABS Conflicts Proposal and any potential interplay with the Volcker Rule Proposal would benefit the Commission in its consideration of any final rules. Therefore, the Commission is extending the comment period for the ABS Conflicts Proposal to January 13, 2012, to coincide with the end of the Volcker Rule Proposal’s comment period. The Commission would consider a further extension of the ABS Conflicts Proposal comment period if the Volcker Rule Proposal comment period were extended beyond January 13, 2012.

The Commission is undertaking the review to comply with Executive Order 13579, ‘‘Regulation and Independent Regulatory Agencies,’’ issued by the President on July 11, 2011. The purpose of the review is to ensure that the Commission’s regulations fulfill the Commission’s mission and are effective, cost-efficient and understandable.

When found, personal identifying information will not be posted online but will be maintained in the agency’s public docket file. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview and Background On July 11, 2011 the President issued Executive Order 13579 ‘‘Regulation and Independent Regulatory Agencies.’’ The order states that each independent regulatory agency should prepare a plan for the periodic review of its existing significant regulations to determine those regulations that are outdated, unnecessary or ineffective. The review enables the agency to modify or repeal a rule to increase the effectiveness of the regulatory program or lessen unnecessary burdens caused by the rule. This order highlights the importance of maintaining a culture of retrospective review of an agency’s regulations. Pursuant to Executive Order 13579, the Parole Commission has developed a preliminary plan for a review of its regulations. The Commission primarily performs law-enforcement functions in releasing an offender from a prison term imposed by a sentencing judge, setting conditions of release, revoking the release if the offender violates the release conditions or terminating the sentence early for good conduct on parole supervision. The Commission’s rules define the procedures and standards used to carry out the functions described above. Many of the rules incorporate statutory requirements. Other rules, such as the paroling policy guidelines, reflect policy choices made by the Commission members within the broad grant of authority given by Congress on executing the Commission’s functions. The application of the rules may affect the lives of individual persons and the general public welfare, but the Commission’s rulemaking and actions do not have a significant impact on economic entities and businesses. Over the last ten years, the Commission has issued 13 publications of final rules and 5 publications of interim rules that have yet to be promulgated as final rules. The majority of this rulemaking pertained to: Implementing new legislation and court decisions; adopting procedural rules on internal voting requirements and using new technology in conducting hearings; streamlining the revocation process for E:\FR\FM\16DEP1.SGM 16DEP1
