Short Statement: The proposed rule amendments in Release No. 34-64514 implement Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act, which was added by Section 932 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The proposed rule amendments would require an issuer or underwriter of any ABS that is to be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") to furnish a Form ABS-15G on the Commission's EDGAR system containing the findings and conclusions of any third-party "due diligence report" obtained by the issuer or underwriter. Under the proposal, the disclosure would be furnished using Form ABS-15G. We estimate that the rule amendments will result in approximately 29,067 new burden hours of in-house personnel time and no increase in costs for the services of outside professionals.
