Data Foundation Applauds Interagency Coordination on Financial Data Proposed Joint Regulation, Encourages Public Comment

WASHINGTON, DC, USA, August 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Data Foundation applauds the publication of a Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking from the federal financial regulatory community implementing provisions of the bipartisan Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA) of 2022. The proposed joint regulation from nine federal financial regulators in the Financial Stability Oversight Council is a result of collaborative and dedicated efforts that represents a significant step forward for modernizing federal financial reporting.

“The publication of a joint rule from federal agencies is a major milestone in advancing efforts to improve transparency, increase accountability, and reduce regulatory compliance burden with the use of data,” said Nick Hart, President & CEO of the Data Foundation. “Over the next two months, our community of data experts will be closely reviewing the proposed rule to encourage agencies to advance data standards to meet modern expectations for using new and emerging technologies in the 21st century, while also recognizing the tremendous advancement that the proposed regulation already represents by enabling improved cooperation across our financial regulatory community.”

The regulation is jointly proposed by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Housing Finance Agency, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, and Department of the Treasury.
