Basel Capital and Liquidity Treatment for asset-backed securities - General issues concerning the appropriate treatment for bank investment in asset-backed securities under final Basel III capital and liquidity rules (includes the Liquidity Coverage Ratio, The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, efforts to create "Simple, Transparent and Comparable" (STC) securitizations, STC treatment for short-term securitizations, and capital treatment of consolidated SPEs when risk transfer occurs). 2. Regulation AB II - Issues concerning disclosure requirements (current and potential) under the SEC's regulation AB II for all ABS asset classes, specifically auto, credit card, equipment lease and student loans. 3. General Dodd-Frank Implementation and Reform Efforts - Issues concerning the implementation of DFA final rules, including risk retention, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), and uncleared swap margin rules; issues related to risk retention provisions, the Volcker Rule (discussed SFA's recommended changes with staff at SEC, Federal Reserve Board, FDIC and OCC), arbitration clauses, lead regulator concept, and "valid when made" loan provisions; reform proposals as they relate to securitization and capital markets generally; the implementation of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018, specifically provisions potentially related to securitization. 4. SFA is a member of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York working to determine best path for transition away from LIBOR (in 2021, the U.K.s Financial Conduct Authority will stop compelling banks to report LIBOR). SFA co-chairs the ARRCs Securitization Working Group which meets regularly with the goal of producing concrete recommendations on how best to effect the transition. 5. Advocacy related to industry concerns regarding the Bureaus proposed consent judgment in the case of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. National Collegiate Master Student Loan Trusts. This case has broad implications for the securitization market as the consent order could alter the parties settled contractual rights and obligations in these transactions. 6.

Res. 15. 9. Section 1062 (Certain Sales Between Grantor Trust and Deemed Owner) of the Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute to the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376) which would treat certain grantor trusts as separate from their owners for certain purposes. 10.
