“Americans for Financial Reform (“AFR”) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Board”) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Proposed Rule” or “Proposal”) on the above-mentioned rule. Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act mandates the imposition of single counterparty credit limits (SCCL), and significantly expands the range of exposures that are captured under such limits. This Proposed Rule is a re-proposal of the Board’s original 2011 proposal regarding credit exposure limits, and makes a number of changes to the original proposal. ”

“As organizations that support the Department of Labor’s (DoL) rule to update and strengthen protections for retirement savers, we are writing to thank you for standing up for your hardworking constituents saving for retirement and opposing HJ Res 88, the Resolution of Disapproval that would block the rule’s implementation, when it was considered on the House floor in April. The House of Representatives is expected to vote tomorrow on whether to override President Obama’s veto of the Resolution and we ask you to again stand with your constituents and oppose the veto override. This rule is a tremendous accomplishment in the fight to improve our nation’s retirement income security and should be supported.”
