Abby Matousek Washington, DC 20004 USA [email protected] 202 296 3622 202 434 7400 fax Follow us on Twitter: @MLSFinRegUpdate www.mlstrategies.com JANUARY 14‚ 2013 Financial Services Legislative and Regulatory Update Leading the Past Week As was widely anticipated, President Obama announced that he was nominating Jack Lew to succeed Treasury Secretary Geithner. With Lew having already gone through the confirmation process twice before, it is expected that he will sail through. However, it does seem that he has some detractors, and that there could be opposition based more on policy than personality. And of course, there is “serious” concern about how his unique signature would appear on the nation’s currency. The Congressional recess last week didn’t prevent the CFPB from rolling out its much anticipated qualified mortgage, or “QM” standard, which was included as part of a larger “ability to repay rule”. This new rule, along with the continued announcements of additional settlements between lenders and their regulators, the latest one dealing with questionable foreclosure practices, is seen by some as necessary to turn the page on the core causes of the financial crisis. Similarly, in international news, the Basel Committee finalized recommendations for liquidity standards and risk reporting, with the former offering concessions to the industry. Legislative Branch Senate Senate Confirms Berner to Head Office of Financial Research On January 1st, following the release of a hold by Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), the Senate confirmed Richard Berner to head the Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Research (OFR).

Cuomo: New York will end most mask requirements for vaccinated people Wednesday [via Politico] Vaccinated New Yorkers will no longer be required to wear masks or face coverings in most settings beginning Wednesday, under new state regulations that align the state with CDC guidance. The Supreme Court will hear a major abortion case challenging Roe v. Wade [via NYT] The Supreme Court on Monday said it would hear a case from Mississippi challenging Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion. The case will give the court’s new 6-to-3 conservative majority its first opportunity to weigh in on state laws restricting abortion. The court will hear arguments in the case during its next term, which starts in October. A decision is not expected until the spring or summer of 2022. The White House says President Biden is committed to codifying the outcome of Roe v.

  • Investing in Resilience: a Conversation with Judith Rodin and Shaun Donovan
    Investing in Resilience: A Conversation with Judith Rodin and Shaun Donovan Shaun Donovan was sworn in as the 40th Director of the Office of Management and Budget on July 28, 2014. Prior to OMB, Donovan served as the 15th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where he managed the Department’s $47 billion budget – helping families buy homes, aiding households in fighting off foreclosure, revitalizing distressed communities and combating homelessness. While at HUD, Donovan made critical investments to speed economic growth, while also offering new savings proposals and ensuring fiscal responsibility. In December 2012, President Obama signed an Executive Order creating the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and appointed Donovan as Chair. This appointment built on his experience with disaster-related recovery and rebuilding challenges from a national perspective in response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Together with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, he led the President’s Long-Term Disaster Working Group composed of more than 20 federal agencies. The Group worked closely with state and local communities, as well as experts and stakeholders from around the nation, to create the National Disaster Recovery Framework published in 2011. Prior to his service in the Obama Administration, Secretary Donovan also served in the Clinton administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Multifamily Housing at HUD, where he was the primary federal official responsible for privately-owned multifamily housing. He also served as acting FHA Commissioner during the Clinton/Bush presidential transition. Prior to his first service at HUD, he worked at the Community Preservation Corporation (CPC) in New York City, a non-profit lender and developer of affordable housing.

  • Pre-Inaugural Nominee Announcements: Trump-Clinton
    PRE-INAUGURAL NOMINEE ANNOUNCEMENTS: TRUMP-CLINTON Melanie Geller Drew Flanagan ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT The last four presidents announced 115 nominees for Senate-confirmed positions prior to taking office. Among these, 71, including 49 out of 56 Cabinet nominees, received pre-inauguration hearings.1 Only eight nominations by four presidents were withdrawn. This document contains tables listing each announcement sorted by president, along with key dates and speed of confirmation for each nominee. Secretaries of the 15 Cabinet departments are denoted in boldface. Preceding each table is a supplementary narrative discussing events and influences that affected each transition team and their pre- inaugural nominations. Summary • The Trump transition team announced 29 nominees during the transition period from election to inauguration, and the Senate confirmed 26. Fifteen nominees received pre-inaugural hearings. For a variety of reasons, including vetting, paperwork, controversy and a high number of procedural votes, the Trump nominees took much longer than the nominees of other presidents. The Senate confirmed Trump’s Cabinet secretaries in 23.9 days, on average. • The Obama transition team announced 42 nominees, including Secretary of Defense Gates, who stayed on from the George W. Bush administration. Twenty-five received pre-inaugural hearings. Obama’s Cabinet secretaries were confirmed in an average of 4.9 days. • Even with a truncated transition, the George W. Bush transition team announced 20 nominees during the transition, including Director of the CIA George Tenet, who remained in his position. Fourteen received pre-inaugural hearings. The Senate confirmed all except for one in about 3 days and confirmed Cabinet secretaries in 1.6 days, on average.
