FR 77740. 3 Each agency adopted the same rule text but each agency’s version of its rule is codified in different parts of the Code of Federal Regulations with substantially identical section numbers (e.g. l.01; l.02, etc.). Rule citations herein are to FDIC’s version of the Rule, which is codified at 12 CFR part 373. 2 79 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Oct 18, 2024 Jkt 265001 (Mandatory) (Mandatory) (Mandatory) (Mandatory) (Mandatory) (Mandatory) .... .... .... .... .... .... Occasion Occasion Occasion Occasion Occasion Occasion together with HUD and FHFA, to jointly prescribe regulations that (1) require an issuer of an asset-backed security or a person who organizes and initiates an asset-backed securities transaction by selling or transferring assets, either directly or indirectly, including through an affiliate, to the issuer (issuer or organizer) to retain not less than five percent of the credit risk of any asset that the issuer or organizer, through the issuance of an asset-backed security (ABS), transfers, sells or conveys to a third party and (2) prohibit an issuer or organizer from directly or indirectly hedging or otherwise transferring the credit risk that the issuer or organizer is required to retain under section 941 and the agencies’ implementing rules. Exempted from the credit risk retention requirements of section 941 are certain types of securitization transactions, including ABS collateralized solely by qualified residential mortgages (QRMs), as that term is defined in the Rule. In addition, section 941 provides that the agencies must permit an issuer or organizer to retain less than five percent of the credit risk of residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate (CRE) loans, commercial loans and automobile loans that are transferred, sold or conveyed through the issuance of ABS by the issuer or organizer, if the loans meet underwriting standards PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 established by the Federal banking agencies. The FDIC implemented section 941 of Dodd-Frank through 12 CFR part 373 (the Rule). The Rule defines a securitizer as (1) the depositor of the asset-backed securities (if the depositor is not the sponsor); or (2) the sponsor of the asset-backed securities.4 The Rule provides a menu of credit risk retention options from which securitizers can choose and sets out the standards, including disclosure, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, for each option; identifies the eligibility criteria, including certification and disclosure requirements, that must be met for ABS offerings to qualify for the QRM and other exemptions; specifies the underwriting standards for CRE loans, commercial loans and automobile loans, as well as disclosure, certification and recordkeeping requirements, that must be met for ABS issuances collateralized by such loans to qualify for reduced credit risk retention; and sets forth the circumstances under which retention obligations may be allocated by sponsors to originators, including disclosure and monitoring requirements. The regulations at 12 CFR part 373 contains several requirements that qualify as information collections under 4 12 E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM CFR 373.2. 21OCN1 84136 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 203 / Monday, October 21, 2024 / Notices the PRA. The information collection requirements are found in §§ 373.4, 373, 373.6, 373.7, 373.8, 373.9, 373.10, 373.11, 373.13, 373.15, 373.16, 373.17, 373.18, and 373.19(g). The recordkeeping requirements relate primarily to (1) the adoption and maintenance of various policies and procedures to ensure and monitor compliance with regulatory requirements; and (2) certifications, including as to the effectiveness of internal supervisory controls. The required disclosures for each risk retention option are intended to provide investors with material information concerning the sponsor’s retained interest in a securitization transaction (e.g., the amount, form and nature of the retained interest, material assumptions and methodology, representations and warranties). Compliance with the information collection requirements is mandatory, responses to the information collections will not be kept confidential and, with the exception of the recordkeeping requirements in §§ 373.4(d), 373.5(k)(3), and 373.15(d), the Rule does not specify a mandatory retention period for the information. Request for Comment Comments are invited on (a) whether the collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC’s functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collections, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments will become a matter of public record. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Dated at Washington, DC, on October 15, 2024. James P. Sheesley, Assistant Executive Secretary.

    General Description of Collection: This information collection 
request comprises disclosure and recordkeeping requirements under the 
credit risk retention rule issued pursuant to section 15G of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78o-11), as added by section 
941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 
(Dodd-Frank).\1\ The Credit Risk Retention rule (the Rule) was jointly 
issued in 2015 by the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (Board), the Securities and 
Exchange Commission (SEC) and, with respect to the portions of the Rule 
addressing the securitization of residential mortgages, the Federal 
Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD).\2\ The FDIC regulations corresponding to the Rule 
are found at 12 CFR part 373.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 111-2-3, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
    \2\ 79 FR 77740.
    \3\ Each agency adopted the same rule text but each agency's 
version of its rule is codified in different parts of the Code of 
Federal Regulations with substantially identical section numbers 
(e.g. _.01; _.02, etc.). Rule citations herein are to FDIC's version 
of the Rule, which is codified at 12 CFR part 373.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 941 of Dodd-Frank requires the Board, the FDIC, the OCC, 
the SEC, and, in the case of the securitization of any ``residential 
mortgage asset,'' together with HUD and FHFA, to jointly prescribe 
regulations that (1) require an issuer of an asset-backed security or a 
person who organizes and initiates an asset-backed securities 
transaction by selling or transferring assets, either directly or 
indirectly, including through an affiliate, to the issuer (issuer or 
organizer) to retain not less than five percent of the credit risk of 
any asset that the issuer or organizer, through the issuance of an 
asset-backed security (ABS), transfers, sells or conveys to a third 
party and (2) prohibit an issuer or organizer from directly or 
indirectly hedging or otherwise transferring the credit risk that the 
issuer or organizer is required to retain under section 941 and the 
agencies' implementing rules. Exempted from the credit risk retention 
requirements of section 941 are certain types of securitization 
transactions, including ABS collateralized solely by qualified 
residential mortgages (QRMs), as that term is defined in the Rule. In 
addition, section 941 provides that the agencies must permit an issuer 
or organizer to retain less than five percent of the credit risk of 
residential mortgage loans, commercial real estate (CRE) loans, 
commercial loans and automobile loans that are transferred, sold or 
conveyed through the issuance of ABS by the issuer or organizer, if the 
loans meet underwriting standards established by the Federal banking 
agencies.
    The FDIC implemented section 941 of Dodd-Frank through 12 CFR part 
373 (the Rule). The Rule defines a securitizer as (1) the depositor of 
the asset-backed securities (if the depositor is not the sponsor); or 
(2) the sponsor of the asset-backed securities.\4\ The Rule provides a 
menu of credit risk retention options from which securitizers can 
choose and sets out the standards, including disclosure, recordkeeping, 
and reporting requirements, for each option; identifies the eligibility 
criteria, including certification and disclosure requirements, that 
must be met for ABS offerings to qualify for the QRM and other 
exemptions; specifies the underwriting standards for CRE loans, 
commercial loans and automobile loans, as well as disclosure, 
certification and recordkeeping requirements, that must be met for ABS 
issuances collateralized by such loans to qualify for reduced credit 
risk retention; and sets forth the circumstances under which retention 
obligations may be allocated by sponsors to originators, including 
disclosure and monitoring requirements.

    \4\ 12 CFR 373.2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulations at 12 CFR part 373 contains several requirements 
that qualify as information collections under

[[Page 84136]]

the PRA. The information collection requirements are found in 
Sec. Sec.  373.4, 373, 373.6, 373.7, 373.8, 373.9, 373.10, 373.11, 
373.13, 373.15, 373.16, 373.17, 373.18, and 373.19(g). The 
recordkeeping requirements relate primarily to (1) the adoption and 
maintenance of various policies and procedures to ensure and monitor 
compliance with regulatory requirements; and (2) certifications, 
including as to the effectiveness of internal supervisory controls. The 
required disclosures for each risk retention option are intended to 
provide investors with material information concerning the sponsor's 
retained interest in a securitization transaction (e.g., the amount, 
form and nature of the retained interest, material assumptions and 
methodology, representations and warranties). Compliance with the 
information collection requirements is mandatory, responses to the 
information collections will not be kept confidential and, with the 
exception of the recordkeeping requirements in Sec. Sec.  373.4(d), 
373.5(k)(3), and 373.15(d), the Rule does not specify a mandatory 
retention period for the information.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on (a) whether the collections of information 
are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collections, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.
