Authorized under the Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), Public Law 110-343, as
amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA), Public Law 111-5, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury)
established the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to purchase,
and to make and fund commitments to purchase, troubled assets from
any financial institution on such terms and conditions determined
by the Secretary. Section 111 of EESA, as amended by ARRA, provides
that certain entities receiving financial assistance from Treasury
under TARP (TARP recipients) will be subject to specified executive
compensation and corporate governance standards established by the
Secretary. These standards were set forth in the interim final rule
published on June 15, 2009 (74 FR 28394), as corrected on December
7, 2009 (74 FR 63990) (the Interim Final Rule). The standards
implemented in the Interim Final Rule require that TARP recipients
submit certain information pertaining to their executive
compensation and corporate governance practices.
