Unsafe and Unsound Banking Practices: Brokered Deposits Restrictions; Extension of Comment Period, 82537-82538 [2024-23631]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 198 / Friday, October 11, 2024 / Proposed Rules ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1 challenges of thinning markets in mind, especially at the regional level. Development could use certain advanced modeling techniques for aggregating and reporting market information. Such models may have the potential to incorporate valuable information related to premiums and discounts paid for fed cattle characteristics. Or, tailored alternative benchmark reports could be designed to enable market participants to develop their own models based on certain consistent widely reported transactionspecific information, as is the case under the FINRA’s TRACE System for bonds. 5. What risks might exist during any transition away from the use of existing benchmarks, and in what ways could they be mitigated? Are certain external regulatory regimes valuable for USDA to learn from in this regard, such as how financial regulators handled the transition away from LIBOR, how FINRA implemented the TRACE System, or other models from financial or commodity trading markets? D. Written Documentation Options 1. Should AMS require covered packers to submit annual documentation to AMS describing how the packer plans to conduct market activities in a fair manner, participate in price discovery for fed cattle, and ensure market access for small and medium-sized feeders? 2. Please comment on how packers should plan to structure market participation and procurement methods to contribute to market price discovery. Provide specific details about actions packers should take to achieve these goals and any market information or data that could be provided to the industry on a voluntary basis to improve market transparency. 3. What role should exchange trading play in considerations of price discovery? For example, for a covered packer to count as contributing to price discovery, would it be useful to establish a presumptive requirement that no less than a certain percentage (e.g., 15% or 30%) of cattle be either exchanged or auction purchased or paid as a market-making fee to the exchange or auction to cover the risks and costs of other producers in those transparent, competitive pricing venues? 4. Please discuss specific problems that feedlot sellers experience with market access and actions that packers could take to improve market access, especially for small and medium-sized producers. For example, would enhanced access to exchange trading be effective in supporting market access, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:39 Oct 10, 2024 Jkt 265001 and could a market-making fee system that supported smaller producers be helpful—for example, from packers that chose to make contributing to such fee one part of their contribution to price discovery under their plan? 5. Please comment about specific concerns related to packer purchasing behavior during periods of supply and demand disruption (i.e., pandemics, disease outbreaks, production disruptions, etc.). What are the important elements of packer plans for maintaining adequate price discovery and market participation during these times? 6. Were AMS to require packers to report to PSD all pricing agreements that describe how base prices are determined for all cattle procured by the packer, describe any specific information or data that should be required for this documentation or otherwise associated to make this documentation more useful for AMS to monitor the market. Should AMS consider any other appropriate documentation requirements of covered packers? 7. In what ways could it be appropriate and useful for AMS to make aspects of the information from these documentation reports available to the public, subject to confidentiality protections? Which ones and why? Would a firm-specific approach, as opposed to an aggregated approach, ever be appropriate for public disclosure? 8. Would it be appropriate and useful for AMS to score or rank covered packers based on their contribution to price discovery, potentially similarly to how FINRA scores broker-dealers on certain metrics? 80 If so, what metrics would be appropriate for the scoring: cash trade and exchange trading purchases, purchases from smaller producers, or other factors? Should any deductions be taken, such as the use of TOMP contracts or delayed packer pickup? Should scoring be dynamic, such that improvements from year to year are recognized? Would any scoring or ranking be most appropriate and useful if provided confidentially to covered packers, or should any ranking be made available publicly? V. Conclusions and Next Steps Given the background, key regulatory challenges, and options for consideration outlined in this ANPR, 80 See, e.g., FINRA, ‘‘Firm Summary Scorecard,’’ available at https://www.finra.org/compliancetools/report-center/equity/firm-summary-scorecard (last accessed Aug. 2024); ‘‘TRACE Quality of Market Report Cards—Treasuries,’’ available at https://www.finra.org/compliance-tools/reportcenter/trace/quality-of-markets-treasuries (last accessed Aug. 2024). PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 82537 AMS is seeking comment on potential and preferred paths forward. Comments received in response to this ANPR will inform AMS’s approach to regulating the Nation’s fed cattle markets. Substantive, well-reasoned, constructive comments, including comments that provide data to support views (for example, are based on industry surveys), will assist in identifying if there are unforeseen challenges or viable alternatives before the Agency moves forward. Comments generally in support or opposition to options identified in this ANPR will assist AMS in identifying the acceptability of the presented options in the absence of other alternatives.
