    Abstract: Section 113 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (the ``DFA'') (Pub. L. 111-203) provides the 
Financial Stability Oversight Council (the ``Council'') the authority 
to require that a nonbank financial company be supervised by the Board 
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and be subject to prudential 
standards in accordance with Title I of the DFA if the Council 
determines that material financial distress at the firm, or the nature, 
scope, size, scale, concentration, interconnectedness, or mix of the 
activities of the firm, could pose a threat to the financial stability 
of the United States. The information collected in Sec.  1310.20 from 
state regulatory agencies will be used generally by FSOC to carry out 
its duties under Title I of the Dodd-Frank Act. The collections of 
information in Sec. Sec.  1310.21 and 1310.22 provide an opportunity to 
request a hearing or submit written materials to the Council concerning 
whether, in the company's view, material financial distress at the 
company, or the nature, scope, size, scale, concentration, 
interconnectedness, or mix of the activities of the company, could pose 
a threat to the financial stability of the United States.
