 *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] 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. The regulations at 12 CFR part 373 contains several requirements that qualify as information collections under 
                    ( print page 84136)
                    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.
