• Loan Workouts and Nonaccrual Policy, and Regulatory Reporting of Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

NCUA proposes to amend its regulations to require federally insured credit unions (FICUs) to maintain written policies that address the management of loan workout arrangements and nonaccrual policies for loans, consistent with industry practice or Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) requirements. The proposed rulemaking includes guidelines set forth as an interpretive ruling and policy statement (IRPS) and incorporated as an appendix to the rule that will assist FICUs in complying with the rule, including the regulatory reporting of troubled debt restructured loans (TDR loans or TDRs) in FICU Call Reports. The NCUA Board (Board) believes this proposed rulemaking and IRPS is timely considering the growth of these types of loans during the recent economic stresses experienc...

• Bridging the Relational-Regulatory Gap: A Pragmatic Information Policy for Patient Safety and Medical Malpractice

The medical malpractice crisis of the last few years has tapped a lot of scholarly energy. These experiences have led researchers to think a lot about the amount and quality of information circulating within or concerning the medical malpractice system, and about public policy reforms that would improve information flow in the future. Relational uses of information fall under two rubrics based on their respective goals: to enhance competition among providers, or to make it more likely that expert advisers will honor their responsibilities to the people they undertake to serve. Regulatory, as opposed to relational, uses of information contemplate the government acting in the interest of society as a whole or a broad subset of the citizenry. Sound information policy requires thinking more...

• Using Tort Litigation to Enhance Regulatory Policy Making: Evaluating Climate-Change Litigation in Light of Lessons From Gun-Industry and Clergy-Sexual-Abuse Lawsuits

In recent years, tort litigation has been used to address a variety of social problems. Like any policy tool, litigation has strengths and weaknesses, and it performs better in some contexts than in others. This article offers a theoretical framework for evaluating the influence of tort litigation on regulatory policy making. The framework has three parts. First, using two examples -- gun-industry and clergy-sexual-abuse litigation -- the article highlights six distinct ways in which litigation influences policy making. Second, the article suggests empirical measures for assessing the extent to which litigation influences policy making in these six ways. Third, the article compares the relative success of gun-industry and clergy-sexual-abuse litigation to identify conditions that favor ...
