Title: Purchase of Debt Securities by Business and Industrial Development Companies Relying on an Investment Company Act Exemption 
Abstract: The Commission proposed (i) to amend two rules (Rules 2a-7 and 5b-3) and four forms (Forms N-1A, N-2, N-3, and N-MFP) under the Investment Company Act that reference credit ratings and (ii) a new rule under that Act that would set forth a credit quality standard in place of a credit rating removed by the Dodd-Frank Act from section 6(a)(5)(A)(iv)(1) of that Act. These proposals would give effect to provisions of section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Commission adopted Rule 6a-5 which sets forth a credit quality standard to replace the one removed from section 6(a)(5)(A)(iv)(1) by the Dodd-Frank Act.
