Short Statement: The amendments in Release No. 33-9175 implement the requirements of Section 943 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The new burden of Form ABS-15G is necessary to implement Section 943(2) which requires securitizers to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests relating to representations and warranties so that investors may identify asset originators with clear underwriting deficiencies. Form ABS-15G would result in 189,068 annual burden hours and a cost burden of $25,209,000 for services of outside professionals.
