General Description of Collection: To facilitate better ongoing evaluation of the quality of lending by banks and to reduce risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund from the opaque securitization structures and the poorly underwritten loans that led to the onset of the recent financial crisis, insured depository institutions must require compliance with certain disclosure and other requirements (including compliance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation AB) for securitizations (other than grandfathered transactions) as a prerequisite for the transfer of financial assets by an insured depository institution in connection with a securitization transaction to be eligible for the benefits provided by Part 360.6 of the FDIC's Regulations. Requirements for safe harbor treatment of loan participations are also set forth.
There is no change to the FDIC's Part 360.6. The change in hourly burden and initial start-up costs are mostly attributed to the SEC's changes to Regulation AB in its September 24, 2014 final rule.
