Form ABS-15G is used for reports of information required under Rule 15Ga-1 of the Exchange Act of 1934. Exchange Act Rule 15Ga-1 requires asset-backed securitizers to provide disclosure regarding fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests with respect to asset-backed securities.
The changes in burden are: (i) a reduction in burden of 172,530 hours due to the one-time internal burden for securitizers to set up the mechanisms to make the initial disclosures required by Rule 15Ga-1, as this cost is no longer applicable; (ii) a one-time reporting burden increase of 33,600 hours due to the adoption of new Rule 15Ga-2 and the amendments to ABS Form-15G; and (iii) an increase in ongoing annual reporting burden of 715 annual hours due to the adoption of new Rule 15Ga-2 and the amendments to Form ABS-15G.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
