Statement from Ian P. Moloney, Chief Policy Officer at the American Fintech Council, on Joint Agencies' Efforts to Support Innovative Community Banks
"Third-party risk management is a crucial aspect of responsible bank-fintech partnerships. The American Fintech Council supports FDIC, OCC, and the Federal Reserve's efforts to encourage responsible innovation through the proposed approach to tailoringthird-party risk management to the size, complexity, and risk profile of individual banks and their relationships.
"Community banks should have the flexibility to manage third-party relationships based on the risks those relationships actually present."
"A more proportionate, risk-based framework would give community banks greater flexibility to invest in technology, pursue responsible partnerships, and deliver the products and services their customers and local businesses need."
"We are also greatly encouraged by the recognition by the joint agencies on banks' abilities to leverage standard setting organizations as part of their risk management processes. Leveraging these organizations will result in more efficient and effective examination processes."
"AFC commends the joint agencies' efforts to provide greater clarity while maintaining strong standards for safety and soundness. We encourage the agencies to finalize a framework that recognizes the distinct needs of community banks and enables these institutions to focus their resources on supporting the customers they serve."

WASHINGTON (Sep 11, 2026) - The American College of Cardiology (ACC), The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) released the following joint statement on the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)national coverage determination released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
"The American College of Cardiology, the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions appreciate CMS's efforts to evolve Medicare coverage for TAVR and enhancing access to more patients as the evidence supporting this therapy continues to grow.
"As TAVR expands into new patient populations, it is critical to preserve the quality framework that has contributed to its success. The preservation of the Heart Team, continued collaboration across specialties, collection of Real-World Evidence, outcomes monitoring, and continuous quality improvement are the foundation of ensuring and improving outcomes for our patients with severe aortic stenosis.
"Participation in national registries, externally benchmarked quality programs and rigorous outcomes reporting remain essential to preserving the high standards of care that have defined TAVR's success. The societies will continue to support the STS/ACC TVT Registry and other quality initiatives that promote evidence generation, patient safety, continuous improvement and health care value across the cardiovascular community."

Dear Majority Leader Thune, Speaker Johnson, Minority Leader Schumer and Minority Leader Jeffries:
We, the undersigned organizations representing the full spectrum of the U.S. dairy industry write to express our concerns regarding the Childhood Diabetes Reduction Act of 2026, S. 5026, and its potential unintended consequences for consumers, American agriculture, and the nation's food and dairy supply chains.
Dairy plays a vital role in a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, providing 13 essential vitamins and minerals that support overall health and well-being. The U.S. dairy industry contributes significantly to the American economy, supporting more than three million American jobs and contributes $779 billion to the U.S. economy. We share a strong commitment to ensuring that Americans have access to safe, affordable, nutritious foods and that federal nutrition policy is grounded in sound science and clear consistent information for consumers.
With these priorities in mind, we request Congress carefully consider the potentially harmful consequences of this legislation. We believe this bill could confuse consumers with the potential of causing them to gravitate away from nutrient dense dairy products, negatively impacting dairy farmers, processors, manufacturers and businesses across the dairy supply chain.
S. 5026 advanced out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on July 22. The bill creates definitions, including a broad definition for "ultra processed foods", and establishes a front-of-package-warning label requirement for any food products containing ingredients captured in this definition. The stated intent of this mandated front of package warning label is to inform consumers of the health risks associated with qualifying products including that the consumption of those products may be linked to childhood obesity and diabetes. Under this bill's definitions, warning labels would be required for whole milk (flavored and unflavored), any and all cheese and ice cream, and most yogurts and other cultured dairy products. The only exceptions would potentially be plain, non-fat or low-fat milk or some plain, low-fat yogurts.
As the United States faces increasing concerns about chronic diet-related diseases and food insecurity, policies that promote the consumption of nutritious dairy products can help improve public health outcomes for Americans. Dairy products including milk, cheese and yogurt are rich sources of high-quality protein, calcium and other key nutrients, making them a cornerstone of dietary recommendations. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) continue to recognize dairy as a core food group because of its unique health benefits. Yet most Americans do not consume enough dairy to meet current DGA recommendations. The 2025-30 DGAs, released in January 2026, state that nearly all Americans, including 67.3% to 93.9% of schoolaged children, fall short of meeting recommended daily intake levels for dairy. Importantly, dairy products such as yogurt have been proven to reduce the risk of diabetes onseti, and cottage cheese provides protein density and live cultures which promote gut health of consumers. Yet, the breadth of the definition means that many familiar, nutrient dense dairy foods could carry a front of package warning label despite their established role in healthy dietary patterns.
The expansive approach taken by S. 5026 would do little to help consumers make more informed choices about their food choices. Instead, the bill risks creating consumer confusion specifically regarding nutrient-dense dairy products long recognized as an important part of healthy diets, providing limited value to consumers while undermining confidence in nutritious foods. The dairy industry is united in opposition to S. 5026. We respectfully urge congressional leaders to carefully consider the negative consequences this legislation could have for American consumers, dairy farmers and businesses, and the rural communities where dairy foods are produced and manufactured.

ASA Sends Letter to SEC's Investor Advisory Committee on Disclosure Reform and Regulation NMS
WASHINGTON - The American Securities Association (ASA) sent a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ahead of its meeting of the Investor Advisory Committee (IAC) calling for for Reg S-K modernization anchored in materiality, and conditional support for rescinding Rule 611 paired with market safeguards.
"Public company disclosure and the future of Regulation NMS go to the heart of how investorsaccess accurate information and receive fair, cost effective, and efficient execution of their trades," said ASA President & CEO Chris Iacovella. "The IAC should fully understand how the pros and cons of AI will impact investors, the markets, and regulated entities before making any recommendations to the Commission regarding AI-related rule changes."
On Regulation S-K, ASA renewed its recommendations that the Commission:
* Ground reforms in the longstanding materiality standard
* Consolidate overlapping cybersecurity disclosure obligations
* Adopt page limits for compensation discussion and analysis
* Extend a safe harbor for forward-looking risk factor disclosures
* Permit companies to incorporate Form 8-K disclosures by reference in periodic reports
On Regulation NMS, ASA offered conditional support for rescinding Rule 611 and Rule 610(e), arguing genuine venue competition, not a mandatory trade-through rule, is the better path to reducing fragmentation. ASA urged the Commission to:
* Confirm the consolidated NBBO will remain an objective benchmark, paired with a rebuttable best-execution safe harbor in SEC rule text and FINRA Rule 5310
* Address market-data/connectivity mandates and SIP revenue-allocation incentives that could worsen venue proliferation
* Pair rescission with reduced access fees and tick sizes, a minimum six-month transition period, and coordinated SEC/FINRA implementation guidance to protect lit markets from off-exchange migration

WASHINGTON - The American Securities Association (ASA) today submitted a comment letter applauding the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's (FINRA) proposal to modernize Rule 2210, the rule governing broker-dealer communications with the public.
"ASA applauds FINRA for modernizing Rule 2210 and for engaging directly with our industry in a thoughtful, pragmatic dialogue to chart a path forward," said ASA Presidentand CEO Chris Iacovella. "FINRA's collaborative, risk-based approach shows real leadership, and we look forward to continuing that work together."
In its letter, ASA voiced support for FINRA's proposed shift from a default principal pre-use approval requirement to a risk-based supervisory standard, along with FINRA's proposal to eliminate the outdated distinction between static and interactive electronic communications. ASA also welcomed FINRA's attention to the growing role of generative artificial intelligence in the development of retail communications, and asked FINRA to provide additional guidance on governance, vetting, and recordkeeping expectations for AI-assisted content.
ASA's letter also raised several implementation-related requests, including a call for additional examiner guidance, a reasonable transition period following any final rule, and clarity on recordkeeping obligations tied to AI-assisted drafts.

25 Years After 9/11, ALPA Reflects on an Industry Transformed and the Security Work Still Ahead
MCLEAN, Va. -- Today, the Air Line Pilots Association, Int'l (ALPA), marked 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks with a ceremony at its Remembrance Garden, gathering to speak the names of those lost and to make sure this history is never allowed to fade.
"As time marches on, it should be matched by our resolve to never let that commitment fade," saidALPA president Capt. Jason Ambrosi. "Our collective cause is to carry forward the significance of this moment in history. We will never forget that our industry can change in one morning, and we will be vigilant at all times. That is our commitment at ALPA. We will put the safety of our members, the traveling public, and the communities under our wings first."
That commitment has driven ALPA's fight to strengthen aviation security industry-wide in the 25 years since the attacks. Through its advocacy, ALPA pushed to harden flight deck doors and helped establish the Federal Flight Deck Officer program, which has trained and armed thousands of pilots to serve as a last line of defense on roughly one million flights a year. But a security gap remained for more than two decades: what protects the flight deck in the moment the door has to open. After sustained pressure from ALPA and delays by airlines and manufacturers, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) finally enforced secondary flight deck barriers on newly manufactured passenger aircraft.
"Secondary barriers on new aircraft are the law of the land," Ambrosi said. "While we honor the progress we've made, today we are reminded that our work isn't done. Every plane already in service, already carrying passengers, is still allowed to fly without a secondary barrier."
The push for a secondary flight deck barrier was first developed through industry design guidance in 2011 and mandated by Congress in the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act before the FAA's 2023 rule cleared the way for installed physical secondary barriers (IPSBs) on new passenger aircraft. With more than 150 newly manufactured, secondary-barrier-equipped aircraft expected to join U.S. airline fleets by the end of 2026 alone, ALPA is calling on the FAA to move now on rulemaking to retrofit the in-service fleet so that flight deck protection doesn't depend on which aircraft happens to show up at the gate.
"ALPA's commitment is to remain vigilant and always put safety and security first. It is time for the FAA to issue rulemaking requiring airlines to retrofit their planes already flying. All passengers deserve to have the same aircraft security protections no matter which airplane they travel on," added Ambrosi.
