Qualified Financial Contracts Recordkeeping Related to Orderly Liquidation Authority
The Secretary of the Treasury (the ``Secretary''), as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, is proposing rules (the ``Proposed Rules'') to implement the qualified financial contract (``QFC'') recordkeeping requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Act'' or the ``Dodd-Frank Act''). The Act provides that if the federal primary financial regulatory agencies do not prescribe joint final or interim final regulations requiring financial companies to maintain records with respect to QFCs to assist the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (``FDIC'') as receiver for a covered financial company to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under the Act within 24 months of the enactment of the Act, the Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council (the ``Council'') shall prescribe, in consultation with the FDIC, such regulations. The Secretary, as Chairperson of the Council, is proposing the Proposed Rules in consultation with the FDIC because the federal primary financial regulatory agencies did not so prescribe joint final or interim final regulations. The Proposed Rules would require recordkeeping with respect to positions, counterparties, legal documentation and collateral. This information is necessary to assist the FDIC as receiver to: Fulfill its obligations under the Dodd- Frank Act in deciding whether to transfer QFCs; assess the consequences of decisions to transfer, disaffirm or repudiate, or allow the termination of, QFCs with one or more counterparties; determine if any financial systemic risks are posed by the transfer, disaffirmance or repudiation, or termination of such QFCs; and otherwise exercise its rights under the Act. The Secretary is requesting comment on all aspects of the Proposed Rules.
