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.

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
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">www.reginfo.gov</a>.

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. 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.

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.
