SUMMARY: On April 29, 2011, the OCC, Board, FDIC, Commission, FHFA and HUD (collectively, the "Agencies") published in the Federal Register a joint notice of proposed rulemaking for public comment to implement the credit risk retention requirements of section 15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Credit Risk NPR" or "proposed rule").
Due to the complexity of the rulemaking and to allow parties more time to consider the impact of the Credit Risk NPR on affected markets, the Agencies have determined that an extension of the comment period until August 1, 2011, is appropriate. This action will allow interested persons additional time to analyze the proposed rules and prepare their comments.
DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule published April 29, 2011, at 76 FR 24090, is extended. Comments on the Credit Risk NPR must be received on or before August 1, 2011.
