Alternatives to the Use of External Credit Ratings in the Regulations of the OTS
Traduzione automatica locale · Lingua originale della fonte
Riepilogo
Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) directs all Federal agencies to review, no later than one year after enactment, any regulation that requires the use of an assessment of credit-worthiness of a security or money market instrument and any references to or requirements in regulations regarding credit ratings. The agencies are also required under the Act to remove references or requirements of reliance on credit ratings and to substitute an alternative standard of credit-worthiness. Through this ANPR, the OTS seeks comment on the implementation of section 939A with respect to its regulations (other than risk-based capital regulations, which are the subject of a separate ANPR issued jointly with the other Federal banking agencies), including alternative measures of credit-worthiness that may be used in lieu of credit ratings.
