The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (the Agencies) are seeking comment on a joint proposed rule to revise the proposed rule the Agencies published on April 14, 2011, to implement section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act).  Section 956 generally requires that the Agencies jointly issue regulations or guidelines: (1) Prohibiting incentive-based payment arrangements that the Agencies determine encourage inappropriate risks by certain financial institutions by providing excessive compensation or that could lead to  material financial loss; and (2) requiring those financial institutions to disclose information concerning incentive-base compensation arrangements to the appropriate Federal regulator.
