Abstract: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Regarding Alternatives to the Use of Credit Ratings in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines of the Federal Banking Agencies section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires the Agencies to review their regulations that (1) require the use of an assessment of creditworthiness of a security or money market instrument and (2) make reference to, or have requirements regarding, credit ratings. The agencies must modify their regulations to remove any reference to, or requirements of reliance on, credit ratings in such regulations and substitute in their place other standards of creditworthiness that the Agencies determine to be appropriate for such regulations.
