This subsection establishes the detailed application and review process for AI test projects. Regulated entities must submit applications to their appropriate financial regulatory agency that include a project description, an alternative compliance strategy identifying the specific regulation to be waived or modified and proposing an alternative method, an explanation of public benefit and risk management, a proposed termination date, scope limitations, a business plan, and an economic impact estimate. The subsection permits joint applications and cross-agency applications where a regulation of another agency is involved.
The agency review process requires a determination within 120 days, extendable by 120 days with deemed approval after the extension period expires. Approval triggers a temporary enforcement safe harbor for the identified regulation, enforceable only under the alternative compliance strategy. Denial requires a written explanation and imposes a 30-day enforcement moratorium. Agencies retain full authority to seek injunctive relief for projects presenting immediate danger, financial market risk, deposit insurance fund risk, AML/CFT violations, or national security risk. Agencies also retain fraud enforcement authority at all times.
