What the document says

“Not later than 120 days after receiving a substantially complete application under subsection (a), a primary Federal payment stablecoin regulator shall render a decision on the application.”

To provide for the regulation of payment stablecoins, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Subsection (d)(1). An application is substantially complete if it contains enough information for the regulator to decide whether the applicant satisfies the factors in subsection (c). Within 30 days of receiving an application the regulator must tell the applicant whether it considers the application substantially complete and, if not, what more is needed. An application that is substantially complete stays so unless a material change in circumstances requires it to be treated as a new application.

What the document actually says

“Not later than 120 days after receiving a substantially complete application under subsection (a), a primary Federal payment stablecoin regulator shall render a decision on the application.”

That sentence, in plain words

The watchdog has 120 days to answer. The clock starts when the request is full enough to judge.

What this is about

Within 30 days the watchdog must say if the request is full enough. If it is not, it must say what is missing. A big change can restart the clock.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
