SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 17 CFR Ch. II [Release Nos. 33-11054; 34-94793; IA-6002; IC-34570; File No. S7-15-22] Regulatory Flexibility Agenda AGENCY:
Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION:
Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY:
The Securities and Exchange Commission is publishing the Chair's agenda of rulemaking actions pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (Pub. L. 96-354, 94 Stat. 1164) (Sept. 19, 1980). The items listed in the Regulatory Flexibility Agenda for Spring 2022 reflect only the priorities of the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and do not necessarily reflect the view and priorities of any individual Commissioner.
Information in the agenda was accurate on April 22, 2022, the date on which the Commission's staff completed compilation of the data. To the extent possible, rulemaking actions by the Commission since that date have been reflected in the agenda. The Commission invites questions and public comment on the agenda and on the individual agenda entries.
The Commission is now printing in the Federal Register , along with our preamble, only those agenda entries for which we have indicated that preparation of an RFA analysis is required.
The Commission's complete RFA agenda will be available online at www.reginfo.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The RFA requires each Federal agency, twice each year, to publish in the Federal Register an agenda identifying rules that the agency expects to consider in the next 12 months that are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602(a)). The RFA specifically provides that publication of the agenda does not preclude an agency from considering or acting on any matter not included in the agenda and that an agency is not required to consider or act on any matter that is included in the agenda (5 U.S.C. 602(d)). The Commission may consider or act on any matter earlier or later than the estimated date provided on the agenda
.C. 602(a)). The RFA specifically provides that publication of the agenda does not preclude an agency from considering or acting on any matter not included in the agenda and that an agency is not required to consider or act on any matter that is included in the agenda (5 U.S.C. 602(d)). The Commission may consider or act on any matter earlier or later than the estimated date provided on the agenda. While the agenda reflects the current intent to complete a number of rulemakings in the next year, the precise dates for each rulemaking at this point are uncertain. Actions that do not have an estimated date are placed in the long-term category; the Commission may nevertheless act on items in that category within the next 12 months. The agenda includes new entries, entries carried over from prior publications, and rulemaking actions that have been completed (or withdrawn) since publication of the last agenda.
The following abbreviations for the acts administered by the Commission are used in the agenda:
“Securities Act”—Securities Act of 1933 “Exchange Act”—Securities Exchange Act of 1934 “Investment Company Act”—Investment Company Act of 1940 “Investment Advisers Act”—Investment Advisers Act of 1940 “Dodd Frank Act”—Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act The Commission invites public comment on the agenda and on the individual agenda entries.
By the Commission.
Vanessa A. Countryman, Secretary.

Final Rule Stage
378. Removal of References to Credit Ratings From Regulation M [3235-AL14]
Legal Authority: Pub. L. 111-203, sec. 939A
Abstract: Section 939A of the Dodd Frank Act requires the Commission to remove certain references to credit ratings from its regulations and to substitute such standards of creditworthiness as the Commission determines to be appropriate. The Division is considering recommending that the Commission adopt proposed amendments to eliminate the exceptions for investment grade non-convertible debt, non-convertible preferred, and asset-backed securities (as rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization) from Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M and replace the exception in Rule 101 with alternative standards—one based on distance to default using a Structural Credit Risk Model for non-convertible debt and non-convertible preferred debt, and one based on SF-3 shelf registration for asset-backed securities.
