Abstract: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343), as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is implementing several aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The statute provides the Secretary broad authority to purchase and insure mortgage assets, and to purchase any other financial instrument that the Secretary, in consultation with the Federal Reserve Chairman, determines necessary to stabilize our financial markets. The interim rule sets forth additional executive compensation requirements under EESA as required by the amendments to EESA under ARRA. The information collections included in this interim final rule provides reporting and recordkeeping requirements for executive compensation.

Emergency Justfication: The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) respectfully requests emergency processing and approval of the collection of information contained in the interim rule to amend executive compensation requirements for participants in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). The collection of information is needed to fulfill Treasury’s responsibilities under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343; approved October 3, 2008), as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 (Public Law 111-5 enacted February 17, 2009). OMB granted a pre-approval based on anticipated final rule action by Treasury. The pre-approval period has now lapsed and to provide full compliance under the PRA, Treasury is initiating this new request.
