SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 25, 2014, we re-opened the comment period on two releases, Asset-Backed Securities ^[1] and Re-Proposal of Shelf Eligibility Conditions for Asset-Backed Securities,^[2] to permit interested persons to comment on an approach for the dissemination of asset-level data,^[3] which is described in a staff memorandum, dated February 25, 2014, that has been previously included in the public comment file.^[4]

The comment period is scheduled to end on March 28, 2014. We have received requests for an extension of time for public comment.^[5] The Commission believes that providing the public additional time to consider and comment on the matters outlined in the staff memorandum and submit comprehensive responses would benefit the Commission in its consideration of the final rules. Therefore, we are extending the comment period until April 28, 2014.

By the Commission.

Date: March 28, 2014.

Kevin M. O'Neill,

Deputy Secretary.
