A clause in the SEC’s proposed overhaul of Regulation AB is suddenly causing alarm among asset-backed bond issuers, who say the measure could kill the appeal of shelf entities.

Bank of America, J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo and other issuers have submitted comments to the SEC strongly opposing the requirement.
